Tsunami Salt X Spinning Reel [VIDEO]

- Drag: 50 lb
- Ratio: 5.3:1
- Weight: 14.5 oz
- Line capacity:
- 400 yards of 15 lb braid

STX6000:

For a 4000 size reel, this is pretty large.
I would not recommend it for tossing artificial lures because it is a little bulkier and heavier than some other reels.
However, if you’re using live bait, or fishing around structure or in the surf where you need a lot of heavy line, this reel would be a good option.
Conclusion
These are just my initial thoughts about this reel and I’m excited to take it out on the water.
I’ll be testing it out over these next few months and after I get a good feel for it, I’ll share with you what I think about it and if I would recommend it.
