I have gotten my first setup just about ready to roll for next month. First off I will be sharking from piers and the beach in the panhandle. Secondly will be using 100% 50lb mono (no braid backing).
Now the Rig: Stock Penn 114H hooked up to a 7' Solid Glass Heavy action rod (Snaggin Special from BassPro) has metal reel seats with double screw down locking collars.
Question: Up to what length/lb shark can this thing handle without being spooled out or have the drag fried or have the rod explode? (Ill have the drag set at about 16-19lbs)
With that setup, a 6 or 7 foot shark would give you a really awesome fight from the beach or a pier. Anything bigger than that and your gonna be spooled or broken off.

look bro you can handle alot with that reel a 6/0 is fyne
i use to use a 4/0 with 40lb for my black tip reel on the beach ive caught 9ft lemons 6 an 7ft hammers ive even caught a few 6 an 8 ft bulls on it so if your there with a 6/0 your pretty good
