In case youd like to see the light gear in heavy action heres a short video of a decent-sized tarpon getting landed on my inshore setup: The 2 core upsides to using lighter main lines are that they: Significantly increase casting performance (over 20% longer casts as shown in this casting experiment ) Decrease wind/water drag which makes for an improved feel of strikes and a better retrieve while working lures And these upsides completely overshadow the downside of the line not being quite as strong as it otherwise could have been in my opinion
