I use the chart on Capt. Tom Kings site!!! www.newenglandsharks.com hope this help , remember drag is still set for 80#!!!!!!!Recommended reels, and their line capacities for different monofilament pound test lineReels$50 lb. test60 lb. test80 lb. testPenn 114 Senator 6/0$120525 yds.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxPenn 115 Senator 9/0$135675 yds.560 yds.xxxxxxxxxPenn Intl 50T$450550 yds.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxPenn Intl 50 TW $500850 yds.700 yds.530 yds.Shimano Tiagra 50$530600 yds.500 yds.xxxxxxShimano Tiagra 50W$590850 yds.700 yds.530 yds.Daiwa 900 H$155640 yds.533 yds.xxxxxxOkuma T-50 W$250700 yds.575 yds.xxxxxxPenn Intl. 30SW$515540 yds.xxxxxxxxxxxxReels$50 lb. test60 lb. test80 lb. test You rarely need 80 lb. class gear for stand-up sharkfishing. But if you want to use 80 lb. test line; Shimano makes 50 class reels capable of handling 80 lb. line and a drag setting of 20- 27 lbs. They are the Tiagra 50wides in the L.R.S. series. It keeps the reels the same size as the 50s and you don't have to use the bulkier 80 lb. class reel. The 50 LRS holds about 550 yds. of 80 lb. test. If you want to go lighter than 50 lb. test The Shimano TLD 2 speed 30, ($330) holds 450 yds. of 40 lb. or 600 yds. of 30 lb. test. The Less expensive Penn 113($85) or 113H($95) holds 475 yds. of 30 lb. test. The Penn 113 HLW ( $105) will hold 600 yds. of 30 lb. or 450 yds. of 40 lb. test. There are other reels available but all the reels I mentioned are basic to shark fishing. With the newer braided lines you can get much more line on the reel than mono, using the same pound test . Reel choice considerations All reels should be clamped to the rod with a rod clamp, and secured well. Why? I don't do that with my striper reels you say.The difference is reels used in fishing for larger gamefish are usually clipped to the upper harness. If you don't have a rod clamp on the reel to hold it on the rod, you can pull the reel out of the reel seat and off the rod with the upper harness straps that are attached to the top of the reel. Some sharkers prefer the larger capacity of the 50 wides because as they cut back frayed 50 lb- 60 lb. test line from the 800 yd. capacity, they still have sufficient line on the reel to get through the season without re-spooling new line. If you cut back a lot on a regular 50 class reel (500 yds. of 50 lb. test)) you may reduce the line capacity below 400 yds. In that case you should re-spool. The difference in weight between a 50 and 50 wide is only a matter of ounces. If in doubt about what reel to purchase - get the 50 wide. Many sharkers will use 50 wides and put 80 lb. test line on the reels. This will still give you 500 yds. of 80 lb. line on a 50 wide reel. Just remember it is still a 50 lb. class reel and the drag should be set that way (12-17 lbs in the strike position), and not for the 80 lb. test line, which would have a drag setting on an 80 class reel of 20-27 lbs. in the strike position.) If you put 80 lb. test line on a 50 wide set the drag at 17 pounds. (The exception is the Shimano Tiagra 50 W L.R.S. which is designed for 80 lb. line and the correspondingly higher drag setting of 20-27 lbs.) If you are a new sharker or an inexperienced fisherman and have to purchase a reel, and don't want to spend $400 to $600 for the reel; get the 115 Penn Senator and spool it with 60 lb. test. mono; or try an Okumo T-50 W spooled with 60 lb. test. If you are an experienced fisherman, a Penn 114 is fine, spooled with 50 lb. test mono. | ||
