So I still hesitate betwwen Penn Inter II 16lb
or 20lb (if you have to choose between these 2 rods wich one you
take?) and some BassPro rods (ocean master 3 pieces (10-20 or
12-25lbs) or similar in cabelas. What do you advice me? other?

I would suggest the 12 - 25 lb line class rods for tarpon of 80 - 120+
pounds.

As for the BassPro rods (and likely the Cabelas) I have had great
service from those I use. I would like to be able to spend the kind of
money to have a high end Loomis or even St. Croix rod but I can't.

I started out with a single outfit, a two piece actually and it is a
'fresh' water model if there is any difference. This was the $50 range
Bionic Blade (medium heavy and light actions). The guides have held up
very well as also the cork handles. The blanks are usually pretty good
and come from a name brand source but the guides and such may not be the
same quality as more expensive brands.

All but one (a Falcon) of my 10 outfits (conventional and fly) are
BassPro models.

Other good brands are available (I will have to refresh my thoughts on
the brand that my Tampa freinds have had good use).
