Penn 209 Shark Slayer

[Alto Mare]

It's been my experience that sharks don't always require heavy gear. There is always that one pissed off shark that won't quit, but many are lazy. I have landed 3-4 foot bull sharks while trout fishing with a 6 foot spinning rod and 10 lb mono using a circle hook. That being said, you don't get to choose if a 5 foot or 15 foot shark takes your bait.

I agree! I've caught a couple with a Jigmaster with very little effort.

I'm very lucky to have Joe as a very good friend. Joe has that personality that leaves you feeling better after being around him. He has prayed over me many times when i have troubles.

Try a bronze whaler, they get very angry.

....the really impressive thing to me is that the levelwind did not break. ....

They hold up better if the fish caught is not a high speed one like tuna.

Also, if the fishermen... and his finger... are not one of the slow speed models

They do hurt when they get a finger.

Saving fingers is why the #64 is plastic. Better it gives out than crush bone.
