I have the 6000...going on few years now. Paired with bluefish 14 foot 2 to 4 ounce. Beautiful combo... Light weight reel.. Smooth.. Great drag.. Line capacity is decent. Loaded with 30 pound braid... Some times 20..perfect reel. Anyone concidering buying a bb reel.. Won't go wrong. Great video

Ive been abusing my big boss 2 since 2017 and its still going strong💯 I like to think of it as a budget penn slammer

It’s a budget BEAST hey!!! Crazy how much abuse those reels can take and how they just keep going and going!

I have a 6000 that I use for saltwater only - the only gripe is that the bearing is not stainless steel as mine seized up and I had to replace it.
@donczns2 ай бұрын
Need to keep those bearings well greased ans service every few months if you can

It’s a small price to pay for the price and general reliability of these reels

Bought a dud 8000 while back, they had no fuss and replaced it and no problems since.

You got a bad one obviously, glad they sorted it out🥶

Hi guys, awesome video. How would u guys rate this up against the Okuma Azores XP? thanks!
@donczns2 ай бұрын
Azores is good as well. The cedros has been great for me. Best buy in the okuma is cedros or metaloid at the moment
@untraceablefishing2 ай бұрын
Very well comparable. But I still tend to favour the Big boss on this one👊🏻

Weakness is the clicker wire under the spool
@donczns2 ай бұрын
Sadly Most budget reels suffer in this regard, some pricier reels even have plastic ones, need to spend double this budget for a good longterm clicker such as a penn battle iii
@untraceablefishing2 ай бұрын
You can’t expect the best reel clicker for a reel sub R1500 unfortunately. But in general, these are fantastic reels for the price!
