You can try to fish with my personal spinning tackles , but you need to understand the possibility that you can get hurt or hurt the fish , if you don't properly fight the fish, have you caught a Marlin before ? are you in shape ?
I am sorry to ask all this question .

I never even come close to a Marlin before , but I understand your questions ,
I am sure that you guys can brief me on a few techniques on how to battle this giants ,I have caught big fish before ,but where does someone start , what i also know is you can get hurt with some fish trying to jump in the boat or trying to stab you during release , I saw a thread recently on another forum fishing in one of your boat ,this older gentleman fighting a Marlin on spinning , definitely would love to try it .

Rod rings are available from Mudhole but if your rod is already built then you need the two piece ones that you can buy directly from the Reel Colors.

Hey Bret,

Are you ready for your trip back ? Marlin bite should be really crazy at that time , can't wait to try the new OTI proto type rod
