## Description

Shimano Inc. SRG6000SWAHG SARAGOSA SW A 6000HG

Review: 6K vs 8K - If you're like me, you watched a hundred videos on the internet about this reel. You may be wondering if you should get this 6k or an 8k. I ordered both and put side by side on my rod. My rod is a 7'9" XH-F. The 6K was way too small and the 6k has a tiny spool. I bet it holds max of 275 yards of 20# braid. You must use a mono back as this reel does not have the rubber on the spool like Penn. If you're fishing inshore for reds, snook, trout, I suggest a 4k Stradic or any 4k; a 5K max. Saragosa has a 5K that would work great, but just a bit over kill. My 4k Stradic holds right at 290 yards of 20# with a mono back. All of that said, I sent the 6k back and got the 8k. Matched my rod well, holds enough line. Good for tarpon, but still small enough to use as a big inshore reel. IE- pulling snook off structure. Or it doubles as an off shore reel. I lined my 8K with 30# braid. Also, if this is your first Shimano, know they are small frames. Meaning, if you put a 4,6,8K reel beside a Penn 4,6,8K reel, they are smaller. So for example: a 6K shimano is the same size as a 4k Penn sargus, battle, spinfisher 4.5K. The 8K shimano is the same size as a 6K Penn. I know because I put them directly beside my Penns. On that note, if I am being honest, the Shimano (at a much higher price) does not feel any better than my cheap Penns. They also do not reel my red fish in any better. However, the stradic 4K is smoother reeling, MUCH lighter, and a excellent red reel. When I say smaller, - i mean the body of the reel is physically smaller and the spool accordingly holds less line than the equal sized penn. Hope my experience helped some of you.
Review: Superb Saltwater Spinning Reel - Smooth casting and reeling in. Very high quality reel as expected for the Shimano brand. I have used this reel under very harsh/demanding saltwater surf conditions and have not had any issues with it. Flawless operation! I am very happy with this purchase!

## Features

- Infinity Drive: The new main shaft supporting structure improves winding torque by 30% while allowing incredibly smooth and light rotation. This essentially means having the benefit of a quick line retrieve HG ratio reel but with the power and winding torque similar to that of a PG.
- X-Protect: By combining our water repellent coating and our specially designed, water channeling, labyrinth construction, X-Protect provides high-level water resistance without sacrificing light gear and rotor rotation.
- IPX8 Water Resistance to create long-lasting durability without sacrificing performance
- Hagane Gear: With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of the reel. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives you the long-lasting smoothness and pleasure that you feel when you first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear. Instead the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by special 3D design and then formed by Shimano's cold forging technology
- Cross Carbon Drag: This drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid reel

Perfect size that I was looking for, it’s a little bigger than a stradic 5000. Works great on black fish.
