We fish in Alaska, one of the best places for testing durability endurance in power of any fishing reel. 6000 and 8000 are my favorite versatile fishing reels. Most of the time we use the same setup with 100 lb braided line. 130 lb spinning jigging Penn rod. Just changing lure and presentation allowed us to use for: jigging for monster halibut, cod and rockfish. Also we use it for trolling for Kings or silver salmon. It is much faster to drop fishing lure 5, 7 or 9 oz to 200 ft of water then conventional open face real. Indirectly your lure action and presentation is 50% faster. Coolest thing about jigging for rockfish in Alaska, sometime School of king or silver w will show up and you can just cast, Target them directly around your boat just below surface.

This is my second Battle 6000. This reel is my workhorse for both Jersey shore and Florida east coast fishing. It works very smoothly and has plenty of power to handle hard running fish. It is a little on the bulky side but for my purposes that is not a real concern. Not the setup that I would take on long beach walks in search of fish,but when slinging bait or tossing large plugs at inlets or jettys it's perfect. Price makes it a deal all around.
