I actually a UK Angler that imported this rod, my god I love it

[@hillbillyhookin1986]

I use a pin 8000 and a 12-foot okuma heavy the okuma reels are surprisingly nice too

[@charlesflorio4827]

What’s the sweet spot on the Star rod? Have a lighter one, favorite one ever

[@urmailingalen]

Another nice budget rod is the offshore angler power stick surf rod.

[@heartless_phantom1853]

do you think a 12 foot ugly stik bigwater would work? i got one for a 10500 that i got and i got a bg 8000, the 10500 is a little heavy to cast

[@Rattlesnake.]

I've got a Penn Spinfisher VI 10500 50 to 80 pound test braid looking at pairing that up with a Vexan XXH 9' spinning Rod. What would I be able to land with that setup ?

[@cukman1643]

I can't find the star aerial 11 foot anywhere, do you know who currently has it and can ship it or another good option for similar price?

[@elijahbl5745]

I can't decide what rod for my bg either, I was thinking maybe a pen prevail Ii 12 foot heavy rod

[@darkrxse4432]

Hey i was thinking about pairing the bg 8000 with the daiwa coastal sp surf rod 11 ft heavy can you say if that's a good rod for shark fishing I'd really appreciate your feedback

[@cscsharks]

That would be a great combo for Surf Shark Fishing. 🤙💪🦈

[@elijahbl5745]

80 lb power pro should be good right? I got a big 8000 for catfishing like 2-3 years ago, a little over kill for it but I have 50 on it rn, I'm going to swap it but I've only used it in saltwater once but hooked like a 4 foot shark but I guess my line was a little frayed or something but it snapped immediate

[@cscsharks]

65-80lb is what I recommend for that setup and sharks over 80lb

[@IsaacBos]

Quick question, I have a 10 foot surf rod w/ a penn fierce 3 8000 reel. I used to run 65 pound braid, but am thinking of stepping up to 80lb, would this hurt my casting distance a lot considering the 80lb would be a little thicker in diameter, or do you think it’s worth the switch? Any feedback is appreciated! Cheers!

[@cscsharks]

Nah, I’d stick with the 65. That’s plenty of strength and I wouldn’t want to lose anymore line capacity.

[@IsaacBos]

@@cscsharks Thanks for the feedback, I’ll stick with what I’ve got then 😀

[@elijahbl5745]

Yeah, stick with 65, the new Penn 8000s can hold like 60 yards of 65 lb braid that the older one like fierce 1s etc

[@patrickhershey3134]

Thanks for the recommendation. I was about to get the Shimano Saragosa, but decided on the Daiawa 8000. I'll be looking for your videos on what rigs you're using.

[@FragranceFrontier]

Why the heck wouldnt you get the saragosa over the bg ?!

[@FragranceFrontier]

Unless budget was a main factor

[@tracereed7457]

I have both. The gosa is a much better reel but the BG for the money is definitely a good reel

[@dustib2019]

Are penn spinfisher 10500 with 85lb braid you think are good for 8 foot sharks with 500yards of line

[@cscsharks]

Yeah man. I’d go 65lb braid and get more line capacity. That reel puts out around 44lbs of drag so even at locked drag it won’t break. You want more line capacity. But for Sharks 8ft and under that’ll work fantastic.

[@dustib2019]

@cscsharks I'm going to panama City florida this summer, so I'm fishing of the peirs, so I'm trying to aim for anything that's at least 100 lbs

[@dustib2019]

@cscsharks right now I have my penn pursuit reels with 80lb briad that's why I ask about the spinfisher reels too

[@Cooper-ej5lu]

Tight lines

[@benjaminanthony5201]

Do I need mono backing?

[@843Landbased]

Never

[@Josh-kb5ox]

Should I put top shot on it? If so what pound and how much?

[@843Landbased]

100lb at the least
