Attention Monsters of the Sea - Beware!
By SFG
Having had such strong performance with the Thunnus 6000, I decided to add the Thunnus 12000 to my collection. I am very pleased.The 12000 holds about 550 yards (maybe more) of 30 pound test fireline. This capacity is needed when I catch a monster shark or game fish - they love to run!I use my reel in the surf at Seabrook Island, South Carolina (A private island that offers great surf fishing -- you can rent an ocean front villa for a great price!) It gets splashed with the salt water, and keeps on going! I always use the baitrunner feature.I did own a Van Staal for a few months, I traded up for the Thunnus, and saved a bunch of money in the process. I also own a Thunnus 6000, and I notice that the 12000 gives me longer cast. It also seems to be a bit more smoother on the retrieve.Towards the end of the season, my 6000 was completely summerged in the sandy surf water and the gears started to grind. For the low price of $24, Shimano serviced it. It is like brand new! With a strong company that is ready to service this excellent reel, I see this being an easy 5 star rating.Bottom line - a great reel that is backed by a great company. The service is wonderful and reasonably priced. The drag and strength of this reel will enable you to bring in the monsters of the sea!Copyright 2005, SFG
