Just received this Shimano Socorro 8000 sw reel. What a beast! Living in Michigan, the salt water aspect of this reel isn't really necessary for me, but I like that it's sealed and is of heavy duty construction. I purchased this for catfishing, we do have some pretty ginormous catfish up here and sometimes they pull like a truck, then they will lay on bottom. Well you need something heavy duty to pull them up and land them. This Shimano Socorro 8000 has been paired with an eagleclaw crafted glass 8'0" MH spinning rod and 20# big game monofilament. Definitely gonna be purchasing another for an even heavier rod I have. I have always used and trusted Shimano reels almost exclusively, their quality imo, has always been top notch!

Very smooth ,light I like the big handle ,great balance when you reel it and wind it up that’s why I wanted a shimano reel I can’t wait to use it on the boat. I fish for Dorado,Tuna kingfish wahoo I’m sure to get something big.
