Beginner shark angler?
I've owned almost every setup imaginable, and honestly, a 12/0 with 100/130lb mono will stop 99% of the sharks out there. The rod's up to you but the 10' 80-130lb gator blank, made by blackfin (which btw are only $99 on mudhole) is great, whether built full length or cut to 8.5-9' (as many members here, including myself, have had done.) If I were you I'd spend the money you save on the reel to have it spooled by basil (www.bhptackle.com), buy a spool of momoi diamond 100/130lb to topshot (learn to tie a bimini twist to modified palomar), and have a good builder such as barrett rods or one of the guys over on bdoutdoors (saltydawg is the f*cking master) build the rod for you. Additionally, a shoulder harness makes it a lil easier to fight while sitting in the sand, and don't forget how expensive terminal tackle can be
Good luck man.
