   Maybe a little soon to be writing a review, but I had my 8000 spooled with 80 lb. braid paired with a Shimano Trivala XH and hooked into a yellowfin tuna that had to be 40-50 lb.s while trolling a cobia lure. Sadly did not have the gear to get him up on deck, but he was fun. It took 10 minutes at most to get him to the side of the ship and I am on a Navy warship which not very accommodating. The reel handled that tuna like a champ. Could have handled something twice his size or better if we were sitting still. The photo is roughly from 15 ft above the water.

   Bought this reel for a fishing trip to the OBX. It was perfect for lightweight shore fishing.

   I put these on surf rods, use them with 35lb braid, catch decent flat heads in the fast river running live bait and catch trout and bass in deeper water at the lake with the far casting capability
