SHIMANO SARAGOSA 8000
Submitted by SHUT IT DOWN on Thu, 2013-04-18 13:27
Ok, so im thinking of picking up one of these reels with two spools, one with 15-20lb and one with as big as i can go, maybe 50-80lb. i want to use the reel on two rods. A 12ft beach rod, thinking the light spool salmon and the likes and the large spool for sharks etc. The second rod is 8ft, around the 15-20 kg mark. I would use the light spool for casting metals etc and the heavier one for jigging plus throwing poppers at some large GTs ( may need to upgrade the rod for this) my question is would this be too much to ask for one reel? (is it that versatile?) open to other suggestions if you have a favorite. price under $300. cheers.

yeah man you can do what you
yeah man you can do what you want with the 'gosa, she can take it. The gt fishing will probaby create play in the gears pretty quickly because theyre insane. just be aware that they are releasing a NEW GOSA SW SERIES soon. what that means is that if you buy it new in the short term u will likely get a sick price. the down side is that shimano wont do spare parts for them after a while, probably about a year after the gosa sw comes out.
