LIGHT, POWERFUL, SMOOTH
June 1, 2018
Just purchased this awesome reel! This 6000 on my st croix avid vis80hf is the absolute best setup I have ever owned, it might be overkill for slot size snook, but when you have a keeper you want to get it to the hand as fast as possible and this reel is the winch for the tow truck, lol you wont be disapointed!
Pros
  • For the money so far it cant be beat. From my experience with penns, cabos, and okumas, this is Shimano smooth, light, powerful.
Cons
  • I'll let you know in a year if it holds up to the big snook, reds, and tarpon. But the true test is the BIG Jacks!!! If it stays solid I'll buy some more.

Seragosa .... The Legend for a Reason
August 22, 2020
The Saragosa SW spinning reals are one of the best reels regardless of price. They are smooth, have great line capacity, great drag system, and are built to be rigid and water proof (essentially unless you submerge it for a while). I own in 8000, 20000, and 25000 sizes and absolutely love them!!!!! If you want a fantastic saltwater reel stop looking and buy a Saragosa.
Pros
  • Rid god construction, awesome drag system, water proof, great line capacity and SMOOTH.
Cons
  • May be a little more expensive then some bargain reels ... but worth the money!

Awesome saltwater spinning reel!
August 11, 2020
I bought the Saragosa 20000 for offshore fishing at the rigs in Grand Isle Louisiana.

The first fish I caught was a 36 pound Cobia. I didn’t realize what I had until I got it to the boat. My new Saragosa handled that hard fighting cobia like a champ!! I caught sharks, 30 pound bull reds and a quite a few red and gray snapper as well. I was extremely pleased with the performance of my Shimano Saragosa. I’ll be replacing two SW Penn reels with additional Saragosa’s for future trips offshore!!
Pros
  • Super smooth drag! Lightweight for its size.

This is a powerful reel from Shimano. Solid, powerful. I own the 10,000 and the 20,000. Will get another 20K. For offshore I paired it with Shimano Tallus Bluewater, unbeatable.
Pros
  • Great price for a fantastic reel. Shimano integrated some key features from high end Stella into the Saragossa, maintaining the price.

Saragosa Reels are Fantastic!!!!
March 20, 2020
Saragosa reels are fantastic reels. Smooth, light weight with large capacity and plenty of drag. I have an 8000 and three 25000 reels and absolutely love them. All the reels have Maxcuatro line to maximize line capacity. This is specifically important for the 25000 reels since they are setup to catch bluefin and yellowfin tuna and other big game fish and need the extra line capacity Maxcuatro provides. I use FG knot to attach either mono or fluoro top shot to the reels. Highly recommend and think Saragosa spinning reels are some of the best reels made.
Pros
  • Smooth, light weight, strong, with plenty of line capacity and drag. They will last for years and years of saltwater fishing fun.
Cons
  • They are more expensive then some other reels but the Saragosa reels are worth the extra cost.

Will a 2500 Saragossa match ok with a Terez extra heavy 7’ rod?
1 Answer
The 25000 may be a little too heavy the 10000 would pair better with the 7ft heavy. If you want a heavier set up to go with a 25000 or 20000 try the Terez 7ft 8 XH or 8ft H to pair better.

What size would pair well with a 6'9" MH terez for Cobia, bull reds, mahi, etc?
1 Answer
The 6000 would balance out better because of the weight of the reel while the 8000 will give you a better line capacity and drag strength also while being a heavier reel. I would lean towards the 6000

Hello,  I currently have the SW5000 paired with a Trevala TVS66MH which I use for slow and fast jigging.   I fish and jig with this current setup in anywhere from 60 to 800 ft of water between the gulf and the keys.   It feels like I can go up to the 8000 or even the 10000 to get more line capacity and in hopes of being able to fight a bigger/stronger fish.  What would you recommend?  Thanks
1 Answer
The 8000 Shimano saragosa would be a good match also the Penn slammer 3 6500 would pair up well.

I am looking for distance and something that can handle throwing larger baits. Thanks!!

The 8000 or 10000 Shimano Stella would make a good choice of reel for the GT's and yellowtail and a good surf rod to pair with that would be the 11 foot medium heavy St.Croix mojo surf.

Going to purchase St. Croix MSWC76MHF Mojo Salt Conventional Rod, not sure which size Saragosa to pair. 6000 or 8000? I regularly fish Blues / Striper / Drum in NJ but would like to handle Tarpon / Snook / Grouper when I head to FL to visit the family. Also is this a good choice for both inshore/offshore fishing? 

1 Answer
Eric, you will want to go with a spinning model on the Mojo rod in order to pair up with a Saragosa.

MSWS76MHF would be the equivalent to the conventional rod listed. The 6000 size would be best loaded with 40lb Power Pro Maxcuatro or a similar thinner than usual braid would give you the best pairing and allow you to do everything you are listing. Would make for a great setup. You could also pair it up with the 8000 if you need the additional line capacity or if you want to go with heavier line. It will still match up well with that rod.

Hi, I have a St. Croix Avid, 9' surf rod. Fishing off the beach for Reds, Pompano, Sheepshead, etc. I regularly get knocked around by waves, so it's going to get wet. Is the 5000 a good fit for this? Thanks.
1 Answer
The Saragosa 5000 would be a good fit with a 9 foot rod in terms of size. The Saragosa is not a fully sealed reel and will be susceptible to damage if it becomes full submerged. The only submersible reels we offer are the Van Stall VS and VR series.

What size Saragosa should I get to pair up with my Trevela S Jigging Spinning Rod TVSS63MH? I will be fishing for snappers and snooks.

The 5000 or 6000 Shimnao Saragosa spinning reels would be a good match paired with the Trevela S Jigging Spinning Rod TVSS63MH.

The St Croix AVSS120HMF2 Avid Series Surf Spinning Rod would pair very nicely with the Saragossa 10000 spinning reel.

I'm looking to get a Saragosa 6000, put 50 lb. braid on it. Fish for grouper, snapper, large flounder, Cobia. Gulf of Mexico, off Cape San Blas, mostly 30-60 feet deep, off bottom, jigging, free line, and some trolling. Will the 7'2" Tallus Medium work well for an all around set up? Or it be better with Tallus 7'2" MH?
1 Answer
I would advise getting the MH to provide a bit more backbone and stability for your fishing experience.

2 part question: for fishing in the northeast from boat or shore, for spicies from stripers, fluke, albies, even an occasional mahi, would the 6000 or 8000 be a better fit? And could you pair that choice on a northeast teramar spinning rod and if so which size of that rod would be recommended?
1 Answer
For the applications you list I would suggest the 6000 size Saragosa. You could even go as small as the 5000. It sounds like the Teramar model number TMSE70MH will suit you, however this might change depending on what lures size lures you plan to use.

would the saragossa 10000 fit well on my 6'6" med freshwater rod for small crappie and bass
1 Answer
The Shimano Saragosa 10000 would be too heavy for a freshwater rod for crappie and bass fishing.
