How to Spool a Shark Fishing Reel! (THE RIGHT WAY!) 

Thanks so much!

There is no need- two great whites- tons of big tigers and hammers. All with no issue. Do what we did here and you are good! No need for tape!

Best connection is the splice but the fg serves its purpose and 200lb braid and mono has so much to give as far as connection knots go. Fg is great and very fast- held on so so many big sharks with so much pressure. Best connection hollowcore splice- most time and effective fg knot

Digital crane scale on Amazon

Okuma all the way!

@@CoastalWorldwide1 you guys are the best ordering it rn

@@gavincirolli3158 epic!!!

We use the reel clamp that goes on the reel foot for sure always. But some reels have like extra bracing on the front and back- that is not needed

@@CoastalWorldwide1 recently i've been thinking, since there is no way i'll be putting close to 200lbs of stress on the line or maybe even 100lbs for that matter why don't i just spool up with lighter braid and fit way more on an even smaller less expensive reel? if there's not chance of snapping braid that strong then why not go smaller? even using lighter maxcuatro braid would seem to easily fit 3000 yards on reel that arent even that big. Am i missing something?

@@7michael7getachew7 because it’s not about putting 100lb of drag- fishing the beach with braid can be highly abusive on the line. Shells- sand ect all causes a factor in weakening braid. 40-50-60lbs of drag on braid that constantly rubs on bottom is on par- I see where you are coming from experience will be the best teacher

That’s true!

Nah we don’t need to long cast here 20-50 yards for our gut to catch them on cast out! 🤘

@@CoastalWorldwide1 are you using mono? If so, what weight?

@@micahlowbe9067 yes topshot 200-250 lb We don’t use more than 50 yards or so

@@CoastalWorldwide1 so, when you do cast, you are casting 150lb -200lb mono?

@@micahlowbe9067 when we use cast out setups we use straight 65lb braid- the heavy stuff is kayak only

50w reel size minimum- plastic reels and shark fishing don’t mix. If it’s summer I would go with an 80w and 200lb braid to avoid hooking a hammer and not being able to handle it

This rod was 7ft 6

@@CoastalWorldwide1 ok thanks

No need with a good knot!

Of course brotha!!

We don’t run more than 50 yards- bunch on there 🤘

Not sure- never seen there stuff

It’s not Team hard life’s knot.. aka hard life’s bait and tackle in Corpus Christi…..aka Albert Zertuche calls it the anaconda knot. He does like 8-10 wraps around the spool then splices it back onto itself. It creates a knot the continues to tighten no matter what thus the name. He has a great RU-vid channel he goes over the knot look up team hard life’s RU-vid channel.

If you are asking my about the knot from mainline to the leader- we use a uni know yes

She is nasty for sure
