Does your dad have any sponsors? You need to get the old man on board.

Yes, he is sponsored by Tibor, Lamson, Scott, and TFO...the rod would need to be a 16-18 wt...I have a few reel possibilities I was looking for feedback on, but I guess there are not many people who do this on the site...

My father has done it all Chris, and you know how he feels about targeting tuna with "light" tackle. He is old school when it comes to that sort of thing, and I can't argue with him considering his background...
