TLD50 vs Tyrnos

[main bay]

Congratulations @fringe wigeon on becoming a Member.

[trail bobcat]

Tyrnos Holds more line

And is heavier

Made of die cast aluminium Not Graphite

Tld50ii has more drag though

Have you caught a shark before @fringe wigeon

Do you have knowledge of how to handle sharks once you catch them

How’re you going to get it up the jetty

Once it’s up there what are you going to do with it cause you can’t release it if it’s cliff gaffed

Do you know how to process a big shark

These are all things you need to have planned out

[trail bobcat]

You could walk it to the end of the jetty but it’s not always that simple

[wet pebble]

Stick to beaches probably

[fringe wigeon]

i know how to dehook a shark and the jetty has stairs that go down to the water

im doing catch and release

[trail bobcat]

Yeah but have you handled sharks before

Is what I am asking

[wet pebble]

good luck pulling a shark up to the stairs around everyone lol

[fringe wigeon]

i have caught small gummy shark on spinning setups and small overhead reels

[fringe wigeon]

and im doing catch and release so i don't need to worry about filleting and killing the shark

[trail bobcat]

Gummy shark are nothing like a bull shark

You can’t just pick a bull shark up an unhook it

Going to be even harder with a 1.5m+ shark on a packed jetty

It’d be good to get experience first

Are you going after bulls or bronzies?

I suppose all the stuff is interchangeable

My point is you should learn how to handle actual sharks properly before you go chasing monster

Out of curious how will you be getting your bait out?

[fringe wigeon]

if im doing it off a beach i will use a kayak to get to out

[trail bobcat]

You’ll need a glass calm day

How long is your rod

[fringe wigeon]

its a 6 foot rolled rod

[trail bobcat]

Yeah you’ll need a pretty calm day

How will you do it off a pier

Baloon it?

You need a good wind tho

What species shark are you targeting?

[fringe wigeon]

yes

[trail bobcat]

And what size bracket?

[trail bobcat]

Ahh yeah

You’ll need a good wind tho

[fringe wigeon]

i want something that can deal with many species of fish

[trail bobcat]

Yeah no but like

What species of shark

Is in your area

That you will targeting

[fringe wigeon]

Dusky shark and Bronze sharks

[trail bobcat]

Cool

Yeah I’d definitely look into getting onto some smaller models first

Just so you can practice dehooking and releasing

That’s way you aren’t fucking around when you get a big one on and people at crowding you

[trail bobcat]

Do you have a fighting belt?

[fringe wigeon]

yes

[trail bobcat]

Good

Yeah bro honestly between the tld50 and the tyrnos 50 ig its personal preference on how you want to fight the fish

Tld has more drag but tyrnos holds more line

They both hold plenty of line so it’s up to you

Are you going to spool all braid or a top shot

[fringe wigeon]

braid and a top shot

[trail bobcat]

Cool

[fringe wigeon]

do you have any tips on ballooning a bait

[trail bobcat]

In what aspect

Would probably be better to watch a video

As long As you’ve got a good wind you should be right that’s like the main thing

Still need a calm day too

[fringe wigeon]

i know you can do it but i don't know how too

[trail bobcat]

You’d be better off watching a video tbh

[fringe wigeon]

alr

[trail bobcat]

Just make sure the video isn’t on LBG livebait skipping and Just on ballooning

Using helium balloons to skip livies is a totally different method

[fringe wigeon]

ok

what about bait?

[trail bobcat]

Anything big and dead

Match the bait to the size of the shark

If your paddling baits doesn’t hurt to throw in some burley too

[fringe wigeon]

would a whole squid work?

[trail bobcat]

Not well

You want to use big whole dead fish

Or stingray wings

[fringe wigeon]

i seen people use snapper frames would they work
