If you are going to spend that coin you may as well go the 10000 saragosa and then you can double that up for tuna/kingfish as well.
I too bought a prevail 12ft 8 to 12 kg arrived today, I am pairing it up with a daiwa emcast which is spooled with 20 lb maxima
Would rather not spend that much lol
I'm leaning towards the Emcast 4500 myself as I have 5500's on my Okuma Xfactor rods and they have performed well for the past 7 or 8 yrs. I was just seeing what everyone else favored or was using.
Imo if the rod is just sitting in a rod holder waiting for a circle hook to do it’s thing you might as well just get a cheap, solid fish winch rather than anything fancy. That’s just me though.

Better off just buying a Saragossa 8000 or 10000, the 10,000 on sale is $250 pretty much everywhere. Won’t find a better reel for that application, I use them in western port

If you want to spend a little less the Socorro isn't a bad option Brett.
