Would a Fin Nor offshore series star drag reel work well on sharks? I have the 20l size.

it will work for smaller sharks but if you want some thing bigger spool it with braid or get a bigger reel

I have somewhere between 40-65 pound braid.

Go for it: I hooked one of my first larger sharks on a plam-sized abu ambassador filled to the top with 60yds of gorilla braid (walmart special.) It was exhilirating for about 10 seconds :lol:

Id use it for tippers without thinking twice :D If its packed with braid of course. I use a Trinadad 30, Torium 30, Stradic 6000, a BG 60, and/or 4/0 wides when I target Blacktips and/or Tarpon. If you paddle it out I just wouldnt make long drops with it, or use HUGE baits.
