The Mako is the preferred reel of some of the top tarpon anglers of today, like Nathaniel Linville and David Magnum, prized for its toughness, reliability and ability to fight big, hard-charging fish

Some swimbaits come with a jighead and hook built into the bait right out of the package

these are 3 baits Id still feel confident throwing today even as Im becoming quite seasoned, as is evidenced by the salt-and-pepper in my beard to which my nieces keep referring

Otherwise, Id say make the leap

You can still increase the bends a bit in them, however, by using plyers with a towel or rag so the finish isnt scratched

Reel For a reel, I prefer a 200-size or larger reel spooled with 65-pound braid most of the time
