10 wt fly reel Silvertip Predator – Large Arbor Saltwater Reel Available in 8/10WT Nautilus CCF-X2 Fly Reel (8/10WT)

Medium: 6-14 lb test line, lures from 3/8 oz to 5/8 oz

The lightweight frame and lowered frame height make this reel easier to palm, so you'll be fishing all day without the fatigue

Many have suggested that manufacturer's use drag instead of line size, especially since manufacturer's pound test ratings are all over the place

So after you pop it pop, pop, pop youre going to crank it two or three times to get just enough tension to where youre not pulling the lure back to you, but you can still feel it if a fish hits it on the fall

I have a couple other heavy structure rods for big reds and snook so itll mainly be used for kayak fishing targeting snook and reds mainly

Trolling The only way to really catch a marlin IMO is to troll
