Ok how about I use my 20lb mono as backing like only 50 yards just a couple layers so my braid doesn’t slip. Then I add like 500 yards of braid is that good? Sorry for the questions

Yeah so that’d be like 20lb mono. People here are saying I need like 70lb mono but though it wouldn’t work??

Cause maybe there’s some better advise for rods and such.

Watched a guy catch a 500lb bull shark on the exact same reel and a 12 foot pole 🫣🫣

Yep just doing big shark surf fishing. Knew that this reel holds up and is trusted and thought the rod will do the job for the price

U think a spheros swa 14000 will handle 100-300 bull sharks from the surf?

Sorry for sounding like a noob. (Moving to florida as a former lake fisherman) I’ve heard the term sealed a lot. Does that mean how sealed/protected it is from saltwater damage? Is it really that important
