Look through the classifieds section and find a good used reel, with braid, for sale.
I bought my grandwave 50 from DarrenK and it was an excellent deal.
Good luck, it is alot of fun.
Oh and JA.... start doing pressups, sit ups and any strength exercises that you can manage... these guys can PULL
This is good advice. Just change your drag washers on the Torium... and def get some braid.... you gonna need it.

We all load braid as backing and then 200m mono topshot, but how often are u taken into your braid ?
I was taken once, cause I allowed it to !
Give it a go with your 20/40 loaded with just 0.50mm mono, or a torium 30 loaded with 0.50mm mono, a raggie sure as hell won't spool u !
My 150kg raggie got about 50m of line from me MAX
Bronzies and so forth, now they take more line
99% of sharks can be landed on a 20/40 loaded with just mono, but the torium will last longer (stronger gears)

The Finnor seems to be a very good option. I've done some homework and for what you pay it seems to be worth it.
I'm also in the process of setting myself up for shark and i'm actually considering the Finnor (see my thread http://www.sealine.co.za/view_topic.php?id=50016&forum_id=1)
Have a look on their website Finnor.com

Nothing wrong with a 20/40, will be able to land most sharks! Pair it with a Purglas /3 or /4 and you will be fine!
if you want to buy a new reel i would go for a torium 30 and full it up with braid and then if you wade far then go 300m of mono but if you dont wade much then i would go for 200m of either 0.50 or 0.55 your choice..
then you can keep the standard washers in for a while but after awhile(depending on how many fish you get etc) then change to either carbontex washers(whaler) or to leather i personally use carbontex and like them alot but many WP anglers use leather so they cant be bad...
also you can add a spring near the dog or what ever its called(gone blank now lol) i had my anti reverse fail this weekend and its not a nice thing ill tell you that! but if you look after your reel and service it fairly regularly like i should have been doing it shouldnt happen...
or if you would prefer to buy a rod and keep your 20/40 look at the loomis and franklin sharky it is one of if not the best value for money rods around! and then put braid on your 20/40 but for raggies etc you could even use straight mono and your 20/40 with say 0.50 and i almost garentee you that if you get spooled its not a raggie! but when you have a big bait in the water you will get picked up by sharks like bronzies etc which will very often strip you if you have no braid!
for braid i would recomend gator braid i have only heard good things about it and its aparently very well priced!
