Thanks for all the advice. I'd rather not have to pack a rod with me but I'm considering bringing my own reels since I'm a left-hand retriever. For the bass scene, I'd guess that the Curado 201s with 20 pound braid would be OK. I'm guessing that would also work for redfish and seatrout. What size reels are enough for tarpon? Would a Calcutta 401 with 30 pound braid cut it? Or is that way too light?
