Saragosa 8000 or 10000?
Lucas Nixon:
Hey mate,
Ive got a Gossa 10000 with 50 pound tuf line for lighter popping and stick baiting and it hasnt missed a beat.
The 8000 with a 10000 spool would be a solid plan too.
If I had the money I would have stellas on everything but the gossa is solid and gets the job done.
Cheers,
David Lumanauw:
Standard new saragosa spool has not enough drag for GT fishing. Best is using JM 16k or other stella 8k replacement spool (SOM, maxel, etc)

But how can you get more dragpower with the same drag? According to the reel schematics the drag parts in both spools are the same.

That's why I asked if the drag numbers are actually real or not. Shimano have a terrible history of putting bogus numbers on their website to make one reel look better than the other. If they have the same drag washer setup, then technically the smaller 8000 spool will give you more drag.

I'm merely going off the claimed drag and trying to clear up a potential misunderstanding by the original author of the thread. I totally understand that if they are in fact the same drag set-up, theoretically the 8000 should have more drag due to the smaller diameter spool.
