Hi , my dad`s friends gave him as a present new reel shimano tld star 20/40s . From my research and by the look of it , it might handle sturgeon . The actual question is if I can use this reel from shore ?! I have my spinning combo for sturgys (ugly stick 12`) and pen battle , but I remember last year few guys were using reels similar to the one im asking about , and they had tons of backlashes cuz they try to whip it from shore with 20+-oz weights .... does these kind of reels mean to be use like this or they for boat only ?!
