You may live your life and never see anything like this! The entire Sebastian inlet was filled with pinfish. The tarpon, redfish and snook were so thick you could walk on them. We took a piece of stingray out for shark bait. While Josh was taking photos with the red, the Avet 80 started screaming! Jeff fought the shark and eventually the line broke. Jeff caught a two redfish (only one is shown in this video) and I caught a 44″ redfish. This was an amazing sight to see! Jahorace Epps helped film this video.

@ital3nt3d : I’ve used 150lb braid and 100lb mono with a breaking strength of 130+lbs with it. Trust me, it can handle a big fish no problem and will last for years. very durable
@ital3nt3d : …
@ital3nt3d : Blacktiph has several videos posted on how to make a rig. It shows all the steps and materials you will need. just use 10′-15′ of 300lb mono, some heavy barrel swivels about 450lbs, 2-3′ of doubled up 180lb wire and a 12/0 to 16/0 hook
@mightymordicai …
@mightymordicai well the rod can take a line weight of up to 80 lb of mono, so using braided… wouldnt it be even less, since braided is thinner
@mightymordicai Any …
@mightymordicai Any good rigs out there that you would happen to have in mind?
@ital3nt3d: and …
@ital3nt3d: and yeah, you could probably land a shark over 250lbs with 500/80 braid. just make sure your rigs are good. good luck dude
@ital3nt3d : dont …
@ital3nt3d : dont use spiderwire as it will dig into your guides. go with power pro

I have decided to purchase the following:
Penn Senator 113L2
Penn Senator Rod 3195RS
And i will be spooling the reel with 500 yds/80lb of spiderwire braided line
Honestly? Can this catch a shark of decent size or no?

What Bait were you using and rig?
@ital3nt3d : It …
@ital3nt3d : It really depends on your preference. The problems with the shorter rods is the risk of the line running over a reef or sandbar. Having a little bit longer rod enables you to keep the line a bit higher. I also feel like I have more pulling power and a higher capacity to turn a fish with an 8′ rod. I’ve landed two 7′ lemons and several 6′ black tips with one
@mightymordicai
…
@mightymordicai
That’s a good rod to use.
@mightymordicai …
@mightymordicai wouldnt a 8ft rod be just a little too long? i understand it can with stand lots of pressure/weight but if it were to be like 6’6″ with the same specs wouldnt it be better/stronger also i am going to be kayaking out the bait so i think shorter would be better
@ital3nt3d: You can …
@ital3nt3d: You can get a 30-80lb class 8′ ugly stick for 80$ that will land anything a 6/0 or even a 9/0 can handle. It’s ideal for black tips for a conventional set up I believe
@BlacktipH no no
… 
im saying im asking just for a rod around 150 dollars. im aware w/one of the senators and a decent rod it should end up around 300 dollars. i just wanted to know if you had any good rods in mind for around $150 or less. keep in mind im going to br using a senator 6 0
@BlacktipH no no
Nice catch and …
Nice catch and release!
@ital3nt3d

@ital3nt3d
You want a combo for $150?
@BlacktipH thats …
@BlacktipH thats thats what i thought…ill probably go with one of the penn senators. Any good rods under 150 dollars to go w/a senator?

@ital3nt3d
A 100lb blacktip will destroy a levelwind reel. I have heard of the winder being ripped out of the reel. Any saltwater reel designed for big fish does not have a levelwind.
@BlacktipH Alright …
@BlacktipH Alright, but i have never used a conventional reel before and i am aware you need to use your fingers as a level wind… so do you know any decent conventional reels with a level wind?
i just need something that can hold lots of line and has decent drag.
if there are no decent ones with a level wind im sure i can adapt w/o it.
thanks

Ouch… I hate when you lose the big one!!!! Looks like you guys had a blast!!!
