Big Game Surf Spinning Fishing Reel 8000/12000,20KG Drag Power Backlash-Free Bearings,Metal Reel Seat,Zinc Alloy Gear for Saltwater Inshore and Offshore Fishing

I’ve been using this surf spinning reel for several weeks now on everything from heavy beach breaks to long cast big game sessions, and overall it’s been very impressive. 🔹 Quality: Right out of the box the build feels solid and premium. The materials don’t feel cheap or hollow — it has that reassuring weight and robustness that tells you it’s made to take serious pressure from big fish. 🔹 Smoothness: One of the first things I noticed was how smooth the retrieve is. Whether slow-rolling a bait or cranking hard, the drag runs buttery smooth with zero jerky starts or resistance spikes. That makes long battles much less fatiguing and a lot more enjoyable. 🔹 Weight: For a big game reel designed to hold heavy lines and big fish drag, the weight is very well balanced. It’s not feather-light, but it doesn’t pull the rod down or throw off your cast rhythm either — perfectly suited for extended surf sessions. 🔹 Drag Quality: This is a highlight. The drag feels consistent, powerful, and linear from 0 to max — no sudden free spool or locking. Even when fighting hard-charging fish, it settles into a predictable resistance that lets me keep pressure without worrying about breaks. 🔹 Look: Aesthetically, this reel hits the sweet spot between rugged and refined. The finish is sharp and clean, with no sloppy paint or mismatched edges. It looks like a reel that belongs in the water and in the hands of serious anglers. 🔹 Size: It’s definitely on the larger end, but that’s kinda the point with big game surf reels. The size gives it line capacity and torque, and it doesn’t feel oversized once you’re used to it. If anything, it inspires confidence — especially when paired with a heavy-duty surf rod.

I bought the 8000 and came back to buy the 12000. Bang for the buck, can't beat it! Smooth and works well compared to my other reels I paid heck of a lot more for! I really like the 12000 they are not kidding its the best value!

GOT IT AND WAS AMAZED AT THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT / RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYBODY WHO WANTS THIS QUALITY OF PRODUCT AND 1STCLASS SERVICE

Rod feels sturdy and handles large fish well for a small price. How ever some screws come loose and need to be tightened. The clicker on the drag also broke. Although well paired with 50lb braided line and a 10 ft pole the casting is insanely smooth. Caught plenty of fish and loved how it gave so many lure choices

Great reel for the price! I paired it with the catfish sumo chopsticks rod if anyone was wondering.

Not impressed. Just stringing it up. The reel is really noisy. I don’t think this is gonna last long and the line keeper is designed for something like 4 lb test. The reel is a lot smaller than anticipated too.

Great reel! My wife had no problems landing fish. Going to get a couple more of them.

lo compré con algo de temor por algunos malos comentarios, pero puedo decir que es un gran producto, tuve muy buenas pescas de grandes especies y puedo decir que lo exigí al máximo en las duras condiciones de la pesca en la selva colombiana y el desempeño fue estupendo, muy suave y muy potente, la capacidad de freno o drag es impresionante. Puedo decir que por su precio es un producto impresionante, muy bien terminado, gran calidad, nada que envidiar a marcas reconocidas.

I just returned after surf fishing with this reel every day during a month long trip to Mexico. The reel handled itself well and was quite smooth for about 2 weeks. I caught many fish with it and made sure to wash it down after each use with clean fresh water. Around the 3rd week, the reel started to show signs of struggle and I figured that next year, I would also need to bring down oils and lubes to keep it running smoothly. However, yesterday I returned home and couldn't get it to spin at all because the reel is completely done and seized up. The handle can't be removed whatsoever, even when trying to force it out with heavy tools and a hammer, and every single internal component (upon taking it apart) is heavily rusted and corroded beyond repair. I began the process of cleaning it (as I know how) but after 2 hours in and the deeper I got, the more I concluded that it's not worth any further effort. In conclusion, if you need something for a quick week or two long fishing trip, then this reel will do the trick and consider it a disposable item. If you are looking for something that will last you for quite some time, then this is absolute garbage. Unless you are using it only in fresh water. As a saltwater reel? This should never have been promoted as such. I will keep the spool with my expensive braid on it, but the minute I hit submit on this enty, this reel is hitting the trash.

The product itself is well built. Smooth, reel has nice clic when you close it. But as you can see on the pictures, the spool has way to much space when it's fully extended. That creates an unforgiving trap.... A simple bad cast, a burst of wind or just a bad surprise if you're battling a fish and for a second you get a loose line, results are awful do to the fact that it's way to easy to get tangle... My first use, I got trap 2 times... Once I had to cut the line, bring manually my weight and my bait, than untangle my line in the spool... This is not my first rodeo. If you want to buy it, you will have to pay attention on every single thing that can potentially ruin your catch... Food for thought.
