Whatever works - but the AMS retrievers will last forever - had four spinning reels that don't work anymore......

Neither, I have reeled in sharks with a hand spool. Stick with the basics. LOL
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways-BOW in one hand-ARROWS in the other-Body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming-WOO HOO! WHAT A RIDE!

i haven't tried yet but i know blokes who have taken plenty of big sharks, rays and sawfish with a point like this.

 

homemade alvey type reel with heavy braided cord.
6'-8' sharks off the beach with no floats! got to do it myself when i get home.
Thick fog slowly lifts
Jagged peaks and hairy beast
Food for soul and body.

Border black douglas recurve 70# and 58# HEX6 BB2 limbs
