Tackle
This is like a 39 hour so you want the bigger tackle, 80-100lb grouper rod at least 6ot reel or even 9ot then a smaller snapper rod with 50-60lb test. Everything is bigger on these trips, fewer lines are going down and huge grouper are getting broke off so don’t bother with the light stuff. You also can leave the trolling tackle at home since were going so fast.
