"gold class" or "9/0"

[don'thaveaboat]

I am getting a reel for my shark rod not being used, at '6 10 class billfisher stand up rod. I will be using it for sharks off piers. Should I get a quantum aruba,shimano tiagra,penn int,avet 50 wide,penn 0/0, or daiwa 900H? I will be loading it with 130 braid for big sharks.

I am not sure if a 9/0 senator type reel would have enough drag to utilize the need for 130lb braid. Unless your need the 130 from an abrasion resistence stand point. If you plan on going sharking for years to come then go with a "gold class" reel, besides, lever drags rock!

Abrasion resistence is the reason yes. ANd thanks for the info!

Go with a Tiagra and be done with it.

That is what I was leaning toward, I like my penn but I would rather have a Daiwa so that is what I will be getting.

I second the Daiwa 900h, great reel and great price.

if money is not an issue and you are going to fish with this reel, straight out of the box, until it dies, then the shimano tiagra is the best bet.

Put some carbontex drag washers in it and go fishing.

that avet 50 should work maybe a little bit lighter line.
