help with shark fishing setup

[budlitesucks]

i havent been fishing in a long time i never been shark fishing but im really looking forward to trying it out.

so this is what i got so fare for a setup for what i could afford.

Rod "Shakespeare Ugly Stik Bigwater Rod BWS 1100-12'-0"
Reel "Shakespeare Platinum Saltwater Spinning Reel 7000ss"
Line "Spiderwire Stealth Spectra PRO fishing line 80lb test 150 yards moss green"
needed more but thats all they had should have bought online 300 or more.
the line is really thin but sturdy just for fun i hooked one end to a truck and the other end to my pole just for fun and it held up for a long time before it even snaped

so back to what i was geting at what else do i need that is good for my setup?

That is a good start. You will need more than 150 yards of line when the larger sandbar sharks come in (VERY SOON). They will spool you quick. I would suggest 10/0 J hooks or 16/0 Circles. Get some Malin wire and attach at least 6" to a swivel. Then go with at least 5 feet of 400lb test mono for your rub leader. Attach that mono to another swivel and tie it to your shock leader, then your shock leader to your main line. It is a lot of gear to toss and it will take time to learn how to get the maximum distance. If you are using braid, learn how to tie to mono properly.

I would suggest going to Delmarva Sport Center and talking to Lynn. He can set you up with what you need for beach sharkin.
