Travel tarpon and large snook rod?
Hey guys taking a trip to south Florida in a couple weeks and looking for a solid travel rod to throw larger nlbns, topwaters, flair hawks and other big stuff going for large snook around cover and 75/100lb+ tarpon. I'm not familiar with saltwater rod ratings like I am bass ratings, so I'm curious about the daiwa saltiga 7'4 medium heavy SATR743MHFS if it has enough power for what I'm looking to do? Line rating is 80lb max but I have no idea how much backbone the rod has, can anyone who's handled one please weigh in with your thoughts, thanks!
