Short of some composite salt water reel, I'd be inclined to dunk and seriously rinse things at the close of each day. It just eats sh-t up.
On bones, a 9 or 10ft 7 or 8 weight forward should suffice. Bones are leader shy, so find something transparent. A couple hundred yards of backing it good to. Those should handle the smallish tarpon they have around as well. Can't speak to larger fish.
