Jerry gets super in-depth into what he uses in the surf from fly to light tackle to big surf in his Surf Scenarios Seminar Series, so we have not touched upon this subject directly yet. I am sure we'll hit upon it at some point, but we also want to be sure to provide fresh and new content through The Surfcast Podcast that you can't get anywhere else. - Toby
