Tarpon

The recommended power for fly fishing tarpon depends on the estimated size of the tarpon in the fishing area. For medium-sized tarpon, around 50 to 75 pounds, a #10 rod is often recommended. However, for intensive fishing, especially if you expect to target larger tarpon, a #12 rod is preferred. It is always advisable to adapt to the estimated size of the targeted fish and the specific fishing conditions.

For tarpon fly fishing, the preferred blank length is generally 9 feet (about 2.74 meters). 9-foot rods offer good handling and control, which is important when fishing for powerful fish such as tarpon.
