He put me on this wonderful Permit on fly!

For Tarpon up to 150lbs we use 12wt rods with a large arbor reel.  12wt NRX with a Abel super 11/12 fly-tarpon bunny

For Permit up to 50lbs we use a 10wt rod.  10wt NRX with a Tibor riptide reel. fly-merkin crab fly

For Bonefish we use 8wt rods with 8wt Tibor Everglades reel. fly-any shrimp pattern

Are there any other specs you would like?  It gets really detailed when we go into line/leader setups.
