hi,
my names kyle, im 16 years old,and i and ive in cape coral florida. iv just started shark fishing the past couple weeks and i love it im really into fishing the beaches. theres nothing better than sitting out on the beach at night with a couple of friends and just waiting for the reels to start screaming. im looking to get a penn senator 9/0 and and packing it with braid then some mono topshot. then im probly gonna get a custom gator rod.
If your lookin for a 9/0 size reel look at daiwa 900h great reels and are all anodized aluminum plus a 1 piece frame along with the insides are easy to clean and hold more line and have a stronger drag. You can find them on ebay easily and I've had mine for 6 years and never had a problem at all with mine unless u really want a penn daiwa 900h is better and same price
how loud is the clicker on the diawa
Just as loud and because of the aluminum it echoes lol I can hear it on the beavh from a good distance its definitely a distinct sound lol
Welcome. Get a big one.
Just an average fisherman.
On mine I have 1000 yds of 100lb braid and a 125lb bullbuster top shot that's around 170yds definitely more line than a penn 9/0 can hold
well the only problem for me is its a little more expensive but a lot more drag, a ton more line, and if its just as loud i think the wait for a little more money would be worth it. iv heard of the daiwa before just never looked into it thanks!!! 
Are you buyin new or used?
And my drag is upgraded to 36lbs at full spool and it only cost 30$ for 9lbs more drag I haven't checked the new drag specs for new ones but I know they were 27lbs in the older one I have great reels tho and strong as hell
the new ones start at 33 so honestly i probly wouldnt need that lol id just get a bigger reel later on im defiantly getting one
im gonna buy it new
Ya that's plenty if u get spooled it was meant to be I've never been spooled cuz I also put on a glove when bout to get spooled and press on the spool ill either turn em pop it or pull the hook lol and that's nice they added drag to it its a good solid reel and you can get a big shark on em a 13ft tiger was caught on a penn 9/0 like 30 years ago and he was usin dacron its all about how u play em I start heavy pressure on the shark bout ten minutes into it if they still goin amd agin never been spooled
i cant find it used anywhere so ill just get it new
Ya just go new no point in goin used if.the new has that good of drag you'll love that reel I love mine lol
