Tarpon,
those rods would be good but Melton reckon the stadard standup rods will not open up far enough for the 130 class reels there made for 80's. The guys that have used standups with 130's have had to get the figting chair rod fittings and have them fitted to a standup rod.
In regards to going over board while shark fishing maybe we would be better filling the spool with 80lb line ............or tying off a saftey rope to our selves.
I am new to this and I wonder if many anglers have a good set of pliers attached to them so they can cut the line if they need to ??
