Dr.Fish Long Shot Spinning Reel, 10000/12000 Saltwater Surf Fishing Reel, 13+1 BBS, 48LB Max Drag, Ultra High Capacity, Heavy Duty Long Cast Offshore Trolling Surf Casting

Purchased this reel a year ago and that is about as long as it lasted. It is a very good reel, but I would say it is not for saltwater. I take good care of my equipment including desalting, rinsing, and oiling between uses. This outing, the reel became difficult to reel in and then final froze in the middle of a Cobia fight. Had to pull the line by hand to get the fish to the boat. If I had neglected the reel, not cleaning and maintenance the reel, then it would be on me. But that is not the case. Great reel for a year, fished it a dozen times, but not made for saltwater.

Very strong well built reel. I now have 2 of these on an uglystick bigwater and I am very impressed

This is a big reel. Very big. It's a 10,000 series, so I guess that's to be expected, but jeezus, it is large. I ordered up a 12' surf rod to put it on just in case I gots to go trollin' for the big Squatch of the Sea.It appears to be well made, with only a bit of plasticity & will hold a buttload of braid. Prolly enough line to hook something, give it a weekend furlough to an adjacent county, then reel it in on Monday.As usual, I've over-bought on this one, but for less than $200 for the rig, it'll look great in my home office!

Very smooth and drag gets tight fast I had some issues with the anti reverse switch when fighting a giant stingray for 2 hours it was slipping everyone and a while I reached out to customer support and they are sending me a brand new one on the house great people over there definitely recommend this product

I don't care to explain how, but the drag knob was stripped (not a manufacturer defect), so I reached out to Dr. Fish and they are sending me a replacement. Thank you Tia! Fantastic customer service. My buddy thinks I might be overcompensating with this Long Shot 12000. I love it and look forward to dropping some bait offshore with a drone and seeing what might happen. Really like the reel and I can't speak highly enough about there customer service. Top notch.

I've only used this reel a couple of times and i've only had it for about 6 months. The drag system just broke. You can flip the button either way but the reel just spins. I don't even know how it happened. I was just fishing and didn't even have a fish on when it broke.

I love this there no question that really good stuff
