Glad you returned that little sail back

[@SportFishingAsia]

All billfish caught here are catch and release only. We’ve since moved to this dedicated fishing channel. Thanks

@bacardipr05 Thanks for your comment. You should put the Shimano Baitrunner to good use. It is a good reel and great value.

[@tonyel120]

@juanweichin do you think this reel whould be good for inshore like jacks snook and trout or should i go with the 6000d

[@honeiti09]

High there what line weight would be best for snapper fishing up to 25pound, on my 8000D

[@JuanWei]

@tonyel120 the 6000D will be more suited for your intended target species. The 8000D will have a lot of line capacity that you do not need in this case.

[@bklynpaul]

nice video. thanks for posting it. i just purchased a 8000d baitrunner im hoping to catch something. wow that was some nice sailfish. have you used the baitrunner to catch any other large fish. how is the reel holding up. did you have to lube it or any service or has it proven to be a tough reel?

[@JuanWei]

@bklynpaul thanks for watching and commenting. The 8000D has seen even more Sailfish action since plus other species. So far it has required only the standard care like rinsing after a saltwater trip, etc and has proven tough. Check out my other channel that is linked to my fishing blog for more fishing videos. Just search for sportfishingasia in youtube.

Can you give the specs on your rod?

[@daltonsexton4895]

Could the 12000d with 50 pound braid be used to live bait small marlin?

[@JuanWei]

@honeiti09 30 or 40 pound line would do.

[@missyleto6384]

@juan Wei C Can i use this off a pier for snapper and Kings? I Have a torium 16 and i love it and everyone knows you need a good spinning reel, would this suit my needs? we catch like 15-20 lbs kings off the Pier and like 5-10lb snappers and sometimes Tarpon and Bonita run through.

[@JuanWei]

I think it will be a great reel to fish off your pier for the species you mentioned. Happy fishing!

[@JuanWei]

[@chrism3525]

will this reel be good for surf fishing for sharks ?

[@JuanWei]

Hey Chris, don't see why it should not be. Watch out for sand getting into the reel though. You can see more of my fishing videos by going to my other channel - search for SportFishingAsia in youtube.
