Hey Larry Long time fan I grew up watching your show and always enjoy seeing you catch huge fish all over the world.
So I have the opportunity to move to Palau for a few years and want to do a lot of fishing for GTs and other reef fish. Wondering what you think about quantums boca 100 Ptse seems like its the only thing in my price range $100-150 that might be able to stop some bigger fish. I wanted to pair it with the tfo big fish rod but I dont see it available in anything other than the 1 power for spinning might have my friend strip down one of the casting rods and switch it up. Got all the sebile splashers(5) and large wide glides (2)I could find on ebay. Are the wide glides discontinued? Got some big sebile stick shadds too and tested them out here in Ft. pierce and caught about a 40lb goliath grouper on the floating 7 1/8in one and he bent the wire shaft pretty bad on the front hook and where the leaders is tied. Would adding swivels help prevent this because that grouper was really strong but I'm sure the GTs will be stronger.
Would you suggest 80lb or 100lb braid if I want a set up I could fish for big GTs and other fish not sure how common huge GTs are there. I was looking to get Jerry brown braid figured its probably a good idea to put my money in the line.
