    The first thing I noticed about this reel is its weight ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable but it was a little heavier than other similarly sized reels. However, that didn't deter my enjoyment of how smooth this reel is. I spooled it with 20lb. Tuf-Line XP and it's perfect for what I use it for. I have it paired with an 8'6" Medium/Fast Okuma SST Salmon/Steelhead rod. The combination is perfect for casting and even drifting. I used the reel all day and didn't experience any arm or hand fatigue except when fighting a few fish! The bail is solid and feels strong when engaging by reeling and manually closing the bail by hand. The large rubber handle grip is very comfortable. It's got a powerful drag, silky smooth reeling, and feels very comfortable in the hands. I recommend it!

      Spinfisher is my go to reel, I would probably go with 6000 for big game fish, but it should be enough.

    Nice videos, subbed and following, been watching and learning a lot. , I'm in down in swfl and want to get one of these heavy set ups for surf docks, pilings, under bridge, piers and Jetties type of fishing
    ( land based fishing, no boat ) Would you advise the 7"6 MH with the 6K reel or the 8" XXH with the 8k saragosa. If you had to choose 1. What would be your first option that provides more versatility ? I already own a 7 medium st croix avid paired with a vanford 3k and a premier with a stradic 4k. This would be my heavy set up. TIA 🙏

    Hi Capt, C A, I see you are a fan of Shimano Saragosa.. What is your opinion of the Daiwa Saltist MQ 6000 which is what I was going to get. also specifically for same size Tarpon?

  • @MrSuperchargedv8
    @MrSuperchargedv8 10 місяців тому

    Im trying to catch my first tarpon off of the jetties in Texas. The problem I see is that they tend to push away from rocks making them hard to reach. What kind of rod would I be looking for in a situation like this to try and get the longest possible cast? Im trying really hard to stay away from the surf style rods because some are heavy and clumsy to cast especially if im not the only person up on the rocks. Any recommendations would be very greatly appreciated.

  • @Beyondthebreakers
    @Beyondthebreakers 3 місяці тому

    You don't really need 200+ $ reel. Penn Spinfisher V-VI will be enough. If not, you can go with slammer and it will stop anything.

      @PeacefulMinotaur-ni8vt 4 місяці тому

      if your going fishing for peas, snook, and tarpon get a 7 foot or longer a Medium Heavy (i would prefer a star rod) paired with a 4k reel (stradic or nasci)

  • @victoroscar35

    Are you ambidexterous? I see you use both left and right hand reels debending on the weight or casting reel.
