shark reel

[Elite]

First off for me NO DAMN LONG RODS '6"6 at most. A 6/0 will be min for the beach since before you have a fish on you have 300 yards out out. And 80 pound is not the biggest you need I go by this rule 20 pounds of drag for 80 line and a 12/0 has over 20 pounds of drag. Line I like 130,150,20,250,300 powerpro 80 is nothing I tell you wil my 9/0 I had just set it out with a tiny 3 inch long spot and 30 sec later I had a shark on then run under the pier and snap brand new 150 like nothing you are messing with fish that are '8 foot long and 350 pounds light tackle wil nt do the job. You really want to shark fish get a 9/0 or 12/0 '6 stand up rod fighting belt hole king head 800 pound cable week eater line 150 pound power pro and done.

LOL- I kinda thought this thread was going there, So Quint after you hook these big beasts what do you do with them? curious because Shark fishing is getting worse n worse every year, 20 years ago a 300-400 mako didnt get a second look, nowdays we're luck to hear of 4 to 6 caught up this way . So after you drag them up on the beach with your pickup truck - turn'em loose if your not gonna eat it, thanks!

Beach sharkin is different than boat sharkin. Yes you need to go heavy. Long though works from the beach. Short and you run into issues with your line being dragged across sandbars between fish and you...
We have a lot of guys float baits out at the inlets on the outgoing tide... I watch 9/0 reels get dumped like toys. 10/0 is better choice or old beat up penn 80... You want tough gears to go with the heavy line... I have bent the spools on senators when really hammering them down. 12/0 is a monster reel but a ***** to work with wheteher standing or even sitting...
I know short on the rod is more comfortable than long but listen to what I said about sand bars... If that fish gets into a trench which he's gonna try and the surrounding sand is higher he's gonna rub you bad. Long gets up over it.

Son if you got Sharking 101 2 years ago at the ripe old age of 10 you have 2 seasons of sharking under your belt and are still just learning the basics.. Some of these guys that are offering you some insight to beach sharking, were sharking years before you were even born.. There are guys on this board that are considered by some to be among the best at what they do and will tell you strait up they are still learning. With the attitude of "i already know what i am talking about" with 2 years experience you wiill never increase your knowledge or skill beyond that of a 12 year old..

The 2 Best pieces of advise i ever got about fishing were
"Keep your eyes, ears, and mind open" and "PAY ATTENTION"

First off I never said I don't want to learn why do you think I am on these sites anyway I just asked one thing and only one thing I did not ask for anything else most guys on here don't even shore fish so I would ask on tx-sharkfishing.com witch is all shore fishing for sharks. And you are damn right about the 9/0 I already replaced the drag and gears. One last thing is that stop thinking I am boat fishing I am beach and pier fishing I have never boat fished.
