In the den of The Shark Hunter

[The Great Maudu]

I have had the privilege, on several occasions, to visit Shark Hunter in his lair and see some of his extensive collection of reels and big game fishing tackle. He is a wizard when it comes to hot rodding Penn reels and I have two of his creations, a 12/0 and now a 9/0. Both are set up to do battle with big sharks and have about every mod and upgrade available. On a visit early last week I was introduced to The Terminator, a 20/0 giant work of art made by Everol. It's mounted atop a massive, custom built stick and controlled by an Aftco Standup harness system. He was gracious enough to allow me to try it on for size and spend a few minutes fantasizing about hooking up with one of the mighty denizens. Going to visit Shark Hunter is like going to the candy store when I was a kid. There is so much to see and learn that I never get tired of it.

That's pretty cool. But who's the guy in the pictures?

Sid

[The Great Maudu]

I think he's a famous fisherman but I can't remember for sure

[Shark Hunter]

Mike,
You are too Humble.
You are the only person other than myself to touch the Terminator.
The biggest reel manufactured on the Planet.
Me and my Buddy Dom got in on this one chance of a lifetime.
His is Blue and I cannot wait for his pictures.
I searched a long time for this reel.
We need to fish it together. 1000 yards of 300lb JB hollow will be the bottom shot, 200 lb mono on top.
Eat your Wheaties.
As much as I love my Penn's. Everol is King on what I do and my method of fishing.
They are the reel that everyone else strives for trying to reel in a Giant Shark from the Shore.
Massive drag capacity and line. The drag disks in this reel are bigger than a 16/0.

You're going to need a bigger knife to cut yourself loose.     Dominick

[Shark Hunter]

I got the knife Dominick.
Dom needs to spill the beans. This reel is as big as they come.
Italian perfection at its finest, Stay tuned for the latest addition.

At first I thought this was some clever photoshop work... then I take a closer look and damn man that thing is a beast of beasts!  Great looking reel

Andy

[Shark Hunter]

I keep running into that Andy, my brother also thought this reel was a myth.
I think not. You have to be persistent, Diligent and keep the faith.
There is a Man in Italy. His name is Paolo.
He makes these Beasts for those who Dare.

No photoshop needed on this baby. This is the crown jewel of modern big game fishing reels. I was lucky to be there. I may never see another one of these, let alone hold it harnessed up. Shark Hunter is going to catch something really special with this outfit.

[Makule]

Everol makes great reels.  A 20/0 is way out of my league.  Even a regular Senator 16/0 is too big for me.  Now for a guy like Daron, that's another story.

[redsetta]

Shark Hunter is going to catch something really special with this outfit.

That he is...
Good luck Daron!

Basic physics tells me you better strap yourself to something big and heavy before you strap the reel in!
Or strap on some wings.
