I Need A New Saltwater Reel!

Alright, so here's the deal. I need a new reel for saltwater fishing. I need something that can hold up against a big tarpon. I'll be fishing off of the pier but it wouldn't hurt my feelings if I could find a reel that would be good for tarpon on the pier but could hold it's own against barracuda on the boat. If you could give me a link to where I would find 30 pound steel cable for barracuda and explain how to attatch it and what all I will need that would be awesome also.

    I like the Quantum Cabo PTs spinning series of reels. I own a #60 series Cabo reel and hope to get a #80 someday.

    I use baitcast for my muskie fishing but my buddy got a baitrunner reel off cabelas since he uses livebait. Says he loves it except for fresh water holds too much line, but for salt water perfect

    Hey everybody that's posted in this forum and that sees this particular comment could you please do me a really quick favor? It will only take a second and I wouldn't bother except for the fact that you are already on a computer. If you could, open up another tab real quick and go to youtube and lookup "holden coffman blue tip test". The profile name of the uploader of the video is "hcoffman100" and I would really appreciate it if you would just take the short 18 seconds to view it and maybe tell your friends? I would really like to get some views and make this video popular. Also, if you're into martial arts or just enjoy watching it you will enjoy this video. Thanks so much!
