Forget the Saragosa, buy my Catalina in the for sale section!

Don't buy a Saragosa 14000. The 18000 is the same price and you will welcome the extra spool capacity. Shop around the net and you will find these under US$ 300.
Doug Terry:
Hi Lads Life's a bitch.
Just when you think you've solved the problem, of which reel to get for GT's when you can't afford a Stella and decided to go with the Saragossa, Having listen to the advise given here.
Someone on a different site throws a spanner in the works and suggests a Fin Nor off shore 8500.
Roy Gould:
Hey Doug, I suggest you go and see a Fin - nor 8500 in the flesh, and try picking it up, it might be built like a tank, but it is as heavy as a tank ;D
Luke Wyrsta:
Saragosa's have caught big GT and Tuna and continue to do so to this day.
Don't make it complicated - it's a no brainer.
