Halo everyone, I am looking to buy a spinn reel for surf fishing with a g3 14ft BM rod. I have been loking at the Saragosa sw 10000 and the ultegra ci4 14000 xsa, but really dont know much about this and would really appreciate it if you could give me some advice on good reels for this purpose. I would like the reel to be able to handle something more or less big if I was to hook it and to handle casting a 6 oz sinker with bait as far as possible. Maybe I am asking a lot, I dont know, please do say.
Cheers to you all !

Get yourself the Shimano Ultegra 14000 xsc & spool it with hmp 600m 50lb braid.

Get a bionic finger & you are good to go.
The rell retails for around R1600 - R 1800.

Tight lines.

Regards
Dieter

Thank you Dieter, saves me money as well as the other ultegra is a lot more expensive. I am still wondering though if the stradic or the saragosa isnt a lot better reel. Maybe not for surf fishing ?

All 3 reels are more than capable of surf fishing.
Boils down to what you can afford boet + how the reel feels on the rod. Go to a shop and try fit each reel on the G3 and take it from there.
