## Description

Shimano Inc. Socorro 6000F SOC6000SW Saltwater Spinning Reel 15.7 Oz/33"

Review: Top
Review: I have used this reel multiple times over the past few months after purchase for onshore surf fishing. So far no issues. I have the 6000 model and spooled with 30lb braid with an 8ft top shot. I have used this for both light and heavy presentation. It held up and preformed extremely well. No change in smoothness or stability. The reel is very light and comfortable but yet feels very strong and stable. One thing I want to mention is that handle in not a screw in like the higher end model Shimano reels. It is an older style where the handle shaft goes through the reel and locked in with a screw on the reel cap. Handle also doesn't fold and the line capacity is a little slim. I suggest backing this reel with Braid line and topping it with either mono or flouro. Despite that this reel is AWESOME! Would I buy another? The answer is absolutely!
