Prehistoric Soul - 2020
This has been an unprecedented year in the world and has slowed to halted many shark fishing activities during the peak times. Prehistoric Soul will be here when you need us. Read through some old posts and browse some categories. We also welcome you to write any articles that you may feel important to be here on the site. Soon enough, the sharks will return and we'll be back to normal, whether new or not.

That's good dental karma...not Roberts gearNope. Mine has 200 yds of dental floss attached to it.
I think I am headed to ebay.I have found this reel I think may work.I think that's your new reel! Great value.It has the drag and line capacity to get the job done. Be sure to get the LL model as that indicates the Baitrunner feature which is, for me, is huge when you want to have the option of letting the fish take some line before you set the hook. Looks like you could put 300 yards of 65lb braid and another 100 -125yrds of 30 or 40 lb mono top shot. It's very doubtful you would have been spooled with that kind of yardage and braking power on your reel.
It is a Penn Spin Fisher SSV8500LL
Here is the details.

That'll work, good reelThanks for your help.
Denny uses a Penn Spinfisher 7500, holds 325 yards of 50 lb braid and has 35 lbs of drag. His is three years old and still works like new, plus they'e only around $150 on Ebay. Just my 2 centsThats what I am looking at only the 8500 LL which has the bait feeder system.
