I bought my
6000+ on a whim and it has not skipped a beat. I use it with a composite 13 footer spin rod with one of those large collapsable guides.
It retrieves like a demon and it's only 'weakness' is a lowish 3:1 ratio but u can really crank it and it will skip ur end bits over many an obstacle. Just dont stop cranking! On its first outing i caught 2 decent
shad at blue waters on sand prawn! Those tailors must have been hungry. I recommend this reel to any whose budget doesn't stretch to stellas et al.
