I abused this reel for four years, minimum service and still working like a beast.

[@robthorpe1591]

This reel is a beast - I run either 30 or 50# Power Pro Slick depending on the application. Handled multiple 40lb striped bass in the Cape Cod Canal with ease.

the best shimano..i love shimano👍💜

[@dpdhogan]

From the shore I use it with a Century Eliminator T900. I have it loaded with Berkley Black Velvet 50LB braid..

[@mrsnuffles7226]

Was thinking of pairing it with my century sre 13.8ft. What size would you compare this to in Penn reels? I have a spin fisher 5500 wonder how much bigger it is?

[@Arie-Z]

Do u know if the twin power 8000 is the same size with the saragosa?

[@jaimaUK]

With the bail arm open should the handle be a lot stiffer (more force) to turn the spool, with the arm closed it is butter smoothe

[@dpdhogan]

Jaima yes, mine is the same..👍

[@dhoary2]

The best reel for the money u pay .

[@DStainn]

i just bought this reel and there is a little space between where the handle connects to the reel. i feel like salt water can get in there or is there sopost to be a washer there? thanks

[@saltylawaia8958]

nick f no, water will not enter that little gap. It’s just an open space not an entry point 🤙🏽
