Nah I don't think so. The Saragosa will just last you forever! The new SW Gosa's are awesome reels... Just match your new reel up with the size of the Mitchell, put the 50lb braid on it and then you're bulletproof!

Gosa, is a way better option. It is made for salt water, I think it has sealed bearings. Drags are much better than the ultegra. This reel will serve you well.

Thanks for the advice.


Which would you recommend for a 13-14ft rod? Can it double as a jigging reel on a 7ft boat rod?

Here's a size comparison of the Gosa 6000 vs the Stradic 5000. The Gosa's are quite a lot bigger than the same size Stradic or Sustain

I've got both these pups, gosa definitely built to last, has a slightly lower retrieve ratio with rigid retrieve which is good for pulling lures.
check out the specs: http://fish.shimano.com/publish/content/global_fish/en/us/index/products/reels/saltwater_spinning/Saragosa_SW.html
and if you really  :hnthnt: want to commit and you have that  :craz: look then check this out: http://www.fishingstore.co.za/shimano-saragosa-fishing-reels/
i was in TA rehab (gagged + straight jacket) for the past few months and now i'm back :craz: :craz: :craz:  getting the gosa sw5000, after years hard work, my stradic 5000 is showing signs of fatigue.

What do you guys think of this combo...Small edible combo ..The Rod i previously mentioned 12,9ft assassin lite Fssc and a Finnor Lethal 80 grinder. I've got a finnor lethal 80 but still look around for a rod that will fit him.


Do any of you have the assassin[size=78%] lite fssc 12,9ft?[/size]
