Bull Shark with a $$$$

-
HoldenAdams 0Thanks @mredus8
-
mredus8 0@holdenAdams
-
mredus8 0Anything that's has a strong backbone. Finore tycoon is a good strong rod that won't break the bank
-
HoldenAdams 0Any rod suggestions ? @mredus8
-
HoldenAdams 0Ok thanks for the info! @mredus8
-
mredus8 0A world record the high end reels are the way to go. A lot of drag and a lot of line@holdenAdams
-
mredus8 0A 50w or a 80w AVET or okuma makira. Yes they cost a lot but there not gonna fail when it comes down to it. You need good line and a strong rod. I've seen 9/0s ...more bring some nice sharks but if you after
-
HoldenAdams 0@mredus8
-
HoldenAdams 0Oh well what do you suggest
-
mredus8 0You will also have problems with the drag overheating
-
HoldenAdams 0Haha In not going for a shark that can out spool a 16/0 @mredus8
-
mredus8 0@holdenAdams
-
mredus8 0A 9/0 won't handle a huge shark from the beach. I know guys that have been spooled by sharks on a 14/0 and a 16/0.
-
HoldenAdams 0Huge haha @mredus8 I'm gonna get the penn 9/0 and still looking for a rod any suggestions ?
-
mredus8 0So what size sharks are you wanting to catch? @holdenAdams the size you want to catch will determine the size of reel you need to buy
-
HoldenAdams 0Ya I'm looking into the 9/0 @bassinboy01
-
Jacob Breaux 0@holdenAdams
-
Jacob Breaux 0Ok man I can't help ya with shark reels, but I know the guys on here that shark fish like those 9/0's. Seems like a great reel that won't break the bank
-
HoldenAdams 0Ya I just had 2 eye surgery's for a detached reitna so I've had a lot of time to research lol @bassinboy01
-
Jacob Breaux 0Have you seen the website tx-sharkfishing? Awesome info and tips
-
Jacob Breaux 0@holdenAdams Ah ok I gotcha. The reason I haven't gotten into shark fishing is because it is quite a large investment of time and money. Lots of gear to get ...more and homework to do. Just a thought
-
HoldenAdams 0Ya well I have a good bull red setup @bassinboy01
-
Jacob Breaux 0@holdenAdams
-
jacob jacob 0@matt 7*
-
Jacob Breaux 0So you're targeting sharks then over bullreds right?
-
HoldenAdams 0Ok
-
jacob jacob 0@holdenAdams 7134440577 text me
-
jacob jacob 0@matt u want to see about deleting his 2 other accounts?
-
HoldenAdams 0I'm looking at the squall 50w or 60w @lovemore @bassinboy01
-
HoldenAdams 0My price range
-
HoldenAdams 0Sorry for so many profiles I just keep for getting my password but this one I do know it wish I could delete the others idk how though @SwampMafia @bassinboy01 and ...more ya @lovemore but the avet isn't in
-
mike2014 0Avet reels all the way
-
jacob jacob 0The mlx will also catch u monster shark if u catch them close enough to shore
-
jacob jacob 0If ur targeting reds get an avet MLX @bassinboy01 knows what hes talkin about with that. Avet makes a solid reel
-
jacob jacob 0The squall is a kick ass reel but if ur gonna spend that money and ur targeting shark get a 12/0
-
jacob jacob 0@holdenAdams if ur using the squall for shark and doing it right u have to take the bait out 500 yards so ur gonna need to use braid backing so u have more around ...more 1000 yards
-
jacob jacob 0@holdenAdams message me
-
Swamp Mafia 0What's it now 6 - 8 profiles for you?
-
Jacob Breaux 0I don't know of any reels out there you can efficiently cast and yak baits out with. Unfortunately with fishing, you get what you pay for usually...
-
Jacob Breaux 0Best thing you can do is get a raptor series MXL or LX from Avet and don't look back, or a Release LG like @MulletHead has. Then you can still cast and have ...more more drag than you'll ever need
-
Jacob Breaux 0Honestly if you want something that can handle both bullreds and good sized sharks, a senator 4/0 is your best bet without spending the money on an avet.
-
Jacob Breaux 0What happened to your old account?
-
HoldenAdams 0And ya @SwampMafia I was looking at a penn squall 50w holds 500yds of 40lbs
-
HoldenAdams 0Everyone this is my new account that I'm commenting with right now plz follow this one instead @SwampMafia @Texas_Slam @matt @bassinboy01 @lovemore @dgrabe217
-
Swamp Mafia 0I don't think the 4/0 has the line Capacity for running baits out far. 6/0 would be the smallest I would use. I have 2- 9/0's with penn mariner standup rods ...more for sharks.
-
holden_adams 0Thanks @SwampMafia
-
holden_adams 0Ok @SwampMafia and ya off the beach @lovemore I was looking at the penn 4/0,6/0 and penn squalls and I wish I could get avet there too much for the one I want how ...more much was your avet.
-
jacob jacob 0Message me @holden_adams
-
jacob jacob 0If u go avet and ur targeting big sharks u want to go 500 yards out in which case u probably want a 50w or 80w
-
jacob jacob 0Off the beach? For a longer fun fight go penn. If u wanna just get the fish in go avet. Also depends on how much u want to spend
-
Swamp Mafia 0Would be good for reds and sharks. A big shark may spool a red fish rod and you may not know you have a red on a shark rod.
-
Swamp Mafia 0Med size conventional reel or a 6k-8k spinner for reds. 6/0-9/0-12/0 for big sharks. I have pulled 40+" bull reds to the beach with out knowing they were on ...more with a shark rod. I don't think one set up
-
holden_adams 0😂 @MulletHead
-
Gabe Mitchell 0I'd never take tackle advice from a guy who spends more on gas to get to the surf than his equipment is worth. @matt
-
holden_adams 0Thanks @matt
-
Matt Dobson 0You need something that holds a lot of line 500yds 30lb minimum, has a clicker, and has a STURDY drag. After that just make sure your friends 'fix' them ...more for you. @MulletHead
-
holden_adams 0Thanks guys ! Sorry for all the post and questions just wanted a couple more opinions before I buy one. @bassinboy01 @matt @Texas_Slam @dgrabe217
-
Matt Dobson 0Guess I'm going to have to try an avet. Have used penns which work great, but eventually lost various parts. Probably my fault for not keeping them up. @dgrabe217
-
Texas_Slam 0What @bassinboy01 said. You cannot find a reel like an avet. They're sealed so sand won't go in them and are oiled up like a bikini model. Just a great reel.
-
Jacob Breaux 0Between my three types of reels, if I had to change them all to one, it'd be my Avet MXL MC. Dream of a reel. Already scheming my next setup, and you can bet ...more the reel will be an MXL MC
-
dgrabe217 0I believe many people like Avet 30w. These people might have more to add @bassinboy01 @matt @MulletHead @teamhardlife @SwampMafia @mredus8
-
Texas_Slam 0Avets baby.

Which should I try to get , pen defiance 30 or Abu Garcia 7000i /c3 can't decide which would be better for surf and pier ?
Blacktip Shark with a $$
-
Ok thanks haha @MulletHead
-
Yeah, you'll be able to cast the about further and be able to land 4 and 5 foot sharks from the surf. Hook into a 6 or 7 footer and you're probably toast
-
Alright thanks ! Ya I can't decide but I'm leaning toward the Abu 7000i @speckcatcher
-
The 7000 is an awesome reel, I've caught a 6 foot blacktip on a reel with weaker drag and smaller line cap @holden_adams but this was in a boat. From the shore ...more is a whole different game
-
Also @MulletHead when you go bull red fishing , do you ever hook up on a shark and can your Abu 7000i handle it ,I saw your youtube video and you said it can pull ...more in anything exept a big shark ?
-
Ok thanks man @MulletHead
-
Both are decent starter combos. I'd pick the once with the most line capacity and the most drag

Got my new kayak !! Stealth angler 11 by emotion kayaks ! Can't wait to hit the water !
Red (redfish) Drum with a $$
-
how much does it cost?im planing on getting one
- View full conversation
-
-
-
Oh ok thanks man @bullred_king
-
@bassinboy01 the only difference between the Abu 7000i and the c3 is just the color and the c3 has 3 more ball bearings
-
an Abu Garcia 7000i is a good one to dats what I use
-
@mike2014 How cool is it gonna be when they're set out side by side
-
@mike2014 Can't wait to see that setup! I'll post mine up too once it's ready
-
@mike2014 Dang I'm gonna be out of town all weekend. Y'all go catch em! Post some blerts for us
-
A pair
-
Alright man thanks @bassinboy01
-
No problem buddy! Lemme know when you get that new setup and we'll go hit the salt
-
Oh ok well thanks man @bassinboy01
-
I'm not sure what the differences are between those two reels, if any
-
Ok I couldn't choose between the two also is the 7000i c3 bigger than 7000i @bassinboy01
-
The 7000iC3 is a great reel. Several scouters use them and love them as well
-
I have a 7000i C3 and have caught bull reds up to 44" and drum up to 45" and have not even had a moment where u was scared the reel couldn't handle ...more that class of fish. Not sure about sharks though
-
Oh ok thanks do u the Abu Garcia 7000i can catch big bulls and shakes or to weak ? @bassinboy01
-
Casting reels are baitcasters: low profile like the Revo and round reels like the 6500 C3. Conventional are larger more for offshore fishing like the Penn senators. ...more Usually pretty bulky
-
@MulletHead
-
Sweet tag me if u get any thing and I'm not sure yet maybe not that soon @Texas_Slam
-
Nice I'm heading to 61st on fri.and Saturday. When are you?
-
Ok thanks and Jimmy's pier on 61st street or the beaches surf fishing and also I was down at ftu the other day but I'll look into that next time I go @Texas_Slam
-
But if you need a guide in your real AKA level wind reels you might want to go with a penn squall
-
Not have a guide but it's very easy to learn how to spool line evenly with your thumb.
-
Also if you live in Houston, go down to fishing tackle unlimited and get you a FTU stock surf rod it's ready to fish. They're real nice too. And for starters, ...more just get a shimano torium. This reel does
-
What pier you fishing??? Take a look at my blert that shows you how to make my bullred/shark rigs It should help you. Feel free to ask any questions.
-
Also wanted to ask what's the difference between casting reels and conventional reels ?? @bassinboy01 @mike2014
-
Thanks guys @bassinboy01 @mike2014 @cole_agouridis
-
I have a penn international 30w with 50lbs mono on a penn mariner rod but a penn senator is a good option too
-
A good starter setup is a Penn 209 or 309 on an 8' or longer rod that can handle 3-6oz of weight plus bait. 20-30lb mono and you're good to go

It's cool and thanks @Texas_Slam
-
Oh ok sorry dude. Gave you a follow btw.
-
He deleted the other one @Texas_Slam. Probably not aware that you can edit a blert and so he just deleted it and posted it again and changed the species.
-
I wanted to make it correct @Texas_Slam

Repost? Common

-
Oh ok thanks man @AllWaterLife
-
No problem bro. They look pretty much the same. Just a small difference that you can see when you put the two fish side by side.
-
Ok sorry guys well now Iknow it looks like a sheepshead too me I never knew black drum start like that @AllWaterLife and @Texas_Slam
-
That's true. @RedfishBoy I seen so many people who tried to lip the fish I catch in the saltwater and they always get a bad surprise!
-
Just giving tips. I wouldn't hold any saltwater fish by the mouth. Unless you have gloves.
-
That's a black drum. You can tell by its mouth. If it has human like teeth then it's a sheepshead.
-
That's not a sheepshead. It's a juvenile black drum.

Details: Blue Catfish with a good tasting stuff
Gonna get this great deal and try to catch some nice fish in the bayou
-
Yeah that's why you should get the 12 cause it will make the trip easier on you and also most 12 foot kayaks hold a lot more gear if you ever need the extra ...more room. I mean if you want this kayak get it.
-
@crookcody16
-
Couple miles and tackle box and 2-3 rods
-
Okay how far are you paddling in it? And how much stuff do you bring along
-
I don't need to stand up though @crookcody16
-
If your going to use the kayak a lot I would recommend spending a little more money for one you can stand up in.
-
Ok thanks @crookcody16
-
Look on the internet for different kayaks. You might have to order one.
-
@crookcody16
-
Where can I get the exact one but 12' cause this place only has 10'
-
How much are you going to use the kayak?
-
Unstable
-
10 feet is just really compact and unsayable when standing. Also longer kayaks cut threw the water easier.
-
Why @crookcody16
-
Great deal but I'd try to go 12 feet
-
How's it slower @j_reyes
-
What's the difference @j_reyes
