For Daron

Daron this ones for you. Everol 18/0 on a custom almost 9' Chaos custom Shark Unlimited Rod.

I'm spooling the bottom with 200lb braid and he will decide the top shot.

I'll get some pictures of the rod in a few.

Nice Keith. I want to see Daron hook one with that combo!

Awesome looking beast of a reel for the serious shark killer

I went with straight 200 lb mono on mine. if I can't turn him. He was not meant to be caught.

Here is a shot of the rod.

Daron this was caught off the Navarre Pier just last week. Mako taken to eat I assume. You can see the reel in one picture.

That is a beautiful Mako. I get a lot more satisfaction watching them swim away.

Big damn fish!

Me too. I would never go through all that work to get a fish up like that. Let it go to catch again.

True dat. I am not looking forward to just relining 14/0.

Big reels and big sharks!

That doesn't look like a Mako in the 2nd picture?

I'm not a shark man - but maybe it's a blue $:-\$ Long snout, pointy teeth rather than triangular $:-\$

handi2 · April 19, 2016, 12:34:30 AM

It does look like a different animal..

Second one is a male sand bar. 1st one is Kennys 10'5" mako caught on an everol 14/0.

Daron, I still can't get over the 18/0 with straight mono. 900yrds or so is what you said? A 600yrd drop leaves you with 300yrds to play with. Those makos and big duskies will take that with 50lbs of drag in less than a minute.
