105SZ Offshore SP Reel

Best kept secret. All stainless gears and all beefy. All metal construction. So it’s a little heavy. But gives me confidence. Wish they made small ones. But so sturdy. I’m sure it wont break and i will be using it till i die prob. I take good care of my reels.

Great Reel!!! Love it!!!

Built like a tank, but heavy. Spool coating may inhibit casting distance, as it is not really smooth.

Flat out it's a big beast. No bells and whistles here, just a tank. It's semi smooth on retrieve, little clunky but the build and amazing drag is worth it. This is a wench I use for drifting or chunking. Not recommended for holding long periods of time. Held 500yrds of 80lb pwrpro braid.

Bought 2 of the 9500sw...., they definitly pass the eye test, They are big, solid and heavy. I spooled them with a ton of 65lb braid(very large capacity spools). These reels will be tested against the toughest(Amberjack, Yellowfin, and bottom dwellers) the Gulf of Mexico has to offer. Ill post their performance after at the end of this season.

This reel is bad to the bone. I put it on my 13 Envy tarpon rod. A few good pair. The reel is pretty heavy so I wouldn’t suggest using it for casting bottle poppers or anything. But if you want to winch in big game, this is it.I own a bunch of Fin-Nor reels. MegaLite is my favorite for surf fishing smaller game. The Lethals are braver reels great for surf fishing larger game. The Offshore is for BIG fish.Unfortunately the first few fish I caught were 3-3.5 foot sail cats schooling in. My dad landed a 42” redfish that day. Maybe next time Fin-Nor. Tarpon will be coming through soon and that’s the whole reason for this. Not sure if you’ve chased tarpon on a medium tackle without a boat and hooked a 150lb 6’ tarpon. I’ll give you a hint, it’s a short and disappointing fight. And you’ll have to put more line on your reel and check to make sure your drag disks aren’t burnt up. So upgrading to this monster reel with massive drag.

The product is good except that I received it with the spool handle with a defective screw and it does not work properly if you could restore me by sending me a new handle because the one you brought does not work, thank you very much Atte: Juan Feliciano

These really are some heavy duty duty spinning reels. I do love mine but I can't figure out why they wouldn't put a anti reverse clutch in them. That's my only complaint. The constant banging against the dog gear can be a little annoying. Putting a anti reverse in it would have costed maybe what? Another $10? Oh well it's still a tough as nails spinning reel that should haul in whatever you tangle with. Just don't try vertical jigging with it.
