I'm thinking about getting a hella flyrod.

You are living my dream, plenty of 8's and 9's and a bunch of lesser weights, but I have heard from reputable sources that TARPON are the one fish you don't want to be outgunned by, and that means a 12 wt with a lot of luck.

Sure - a 10wt can handle most, but the amount of fight is exponential for every 10lbs over 100.

Pictures or it didn't happen

I have a lower quality 12wt and the thing casts like a telephone pole. The new tech 11wts are supposed to be able to handle anything short of Marlin.
