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!
ProsFor the money so far it cant be beat. From my experience with penns, cabos, and okumas, this is Shimano smooth, light, powerful.
ConsI'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.

Workhorse of a reel
February 14, 2020
I will definitely be buying more of these in the future. They deal with saltwater better than others I've bought in the past. I have this 6000 on an 8ft Shimano Teramar and makes one heck of a do it all rod when I'm offshore/nearshore.

Get the 6000 if you're considering the 5000
February 5, 2020
The 6000 is just 1/2 heavier, it has the same gear ratio with a bit more retrieve, maybe owing to the larger spool. and has a good deal more line capacity. It's also the same price.

Great reel
January 12, 2020
I have a few of these reels and really like them. I believe the design is an improvement over the previous model with this name. For overall spinning needs inshore and offshore. Smooth drag, good line capacity, even better when used with braid. If you need more drag and have the funding, the twin power will fit the bill.
ProsSmooth drag, line capacity, low maintenance.

Fantastic reel
December 18, 2019
I'm really impressed with this reel. I ordered the Saragosa SW8000 model. Very smooth.
I love it. The only surprise is that it is a little heavier that I thought it would be . I originally thought I would put it on an older St. Croix Mojo inshore rod, but now planning on putting it on a 7 ft Terez. Shipping by Tackledirect was prompt and arrived without delay.

8000 Shimano Saragosa
June 30, 2019
The Saragosa is one of my favorite offshore spinners for general offshore use. It is as smooth and capable as Shimano’s higher end line and has proven to be just as durable in all my applications.
Before purchasing you should know that the bail is 100% manual and requires you to flip it back over after you cast. I don’t see this as a negative but if you are used to an auto bail engagement it will take some time to get used to it.

Butter smooth, well build, casts far. I also dropped it in the surf by error, got water and sand, just rinsed it afterwards and keeps working like nothing happened. Worth the investment!

Saragosa 8,000 and 20,000
May 20, 2019
The Saragosa 8,000 is great for jigging because it is lightweight and has good drag. The Saragosa 20,000 is great for big poppers because it has great capacity.

What is the best fit for the Saragosa SW6000 with 30# braid, between a Avid Series Inshore Medium-Heavy (VIS70MHF) or Heavy (VIS70HF)?
To be used for Tarpon/Snook fishing at Inlets.
1 Answer
I would personally lean towards the heavy. You'll need some backbone in that rod to help with the Snook and Tarpon.

Hi there!
I am looking to purchase a saragosa 6000SW spinning reel, to fish for medium size jacks (~10-30lb) and other pelagics, from the rocks. Can you advise which rod would work best for this application?!
Many thanks
1 Answer
There are a few rods that will pair well with the Saragosa 6000.
The Shimano Teramar Inshore Southeast Series rods have two rods that would work well with your application. The TMS-F70H and the TMS-X70MH both are great rods to pair with. Here's a link for both to check out:
https://www.tackledirect.com/tmsx70mh.html
https://www.tackledirect.com/tmsf70h.html
Another set of rods that will pair with the Saragosa 6000 are the
St. Croix Mojo Inshore Spinning Rods. The two rod models that we recommend are the MIS76HF and MIS76MHF. Here are the links to check out the rods:

Looking to purchase 2 6000â€â"¢s and need rod advice. Want a 7â€â"¢ medium/heavy rod for boat fishing outside for snapper, grouper, large reds, etc.
Rod preference would be Shimano or Star. Plan on spooling up 30-40# braid on those 6000â€â"¢s...
2 Answers
Here are a few options for a 7' Medium-Heavy rod to use from the boat. To start off, Shimano has a few options....
The TES70MHB is a 7' Medium-Heavy rated 40-80 line weight. Here's a link to check it out:
https://www.tackledirect.com/shimano-tes70mhb-talavera-spinning-rod.html
Shimano also has the TLS72MHBBL which is a 7'2 Medium-Heavy with a line rating of 40-80.
https://www.tackledirect.com/shimano-tallus-blue-water-saltwater-spinning-rods.html
If you are interested in Star rods, you can check out the SGB70MH which is a 7' Medium-Heavy with a line rating of 15-30 Mono, or 30-100 Braid. The link for this rod is:

1 Answer
The 6000 and 8000 sizes are different in body styles. The 8000 is 5 1/2 ounces heavier. I would use the 8000 especially if your fishing from a pier. You will have more line capacity and this reel can take more weight lifting the fish from the pier.

I've narrowed down to the Saragosa 6000 SW for all around, bottom fishing, jigging, free line, and trolling artificial reefs off Mexico Beach, Florida Gulf of Mexico,30 - 60 feet of water. I need recommendations on a rod. Looking at Shimano Tallus spinning rod. Need input on 6'9" or 7'2" and is medium ok, rated 20-50 lb. braid, rather than a medium heavy rated 40- 80 braid. I think I will put 50 Lb. braid on the reel. Please give input before I purchase site unseen a 7'2" medium with 6000 Saragosa. Thank you
1 Answer
The 6000 Saragosa paired with the 7'2" Tallus medium will be the best reel and rod combo for your applications. It will also perfect to handle the 50 lbs braid you plan on fishing with.
