I just bought a SaltX 6000 and a Saragosa 8000 and have to tell you the SaltX is quieter and smoother than the Saragosa. And actually exceeds the Saragosa's line capacity.
Until I can find a replacement knob AND it's proven itself for a few more years, I'm sticking with Van Staal. If all goes well with it over the next few years and I can get some hope of finding parts online, I'm passing for a bran that's been tried and proven for decades. I have no problem at all finding Van Staal parts should I need something. The SaltX does indeed look promising. Let us know how you feel about it a year or so later.
Taylor Prattson Nice! I tend to use more drag to pull them in quicker so they are not exhausted. Also, it might be that my PowerPro braid batch was bad, because I had a whole lot of line breaks and thought I needed to go heavier.
Unfortunately, I don't have a gosa 6k. Just SaltX 6k and Slammer III 6500. I would def go with SaltX if you are going to be wading. It's light and strong and I love it.
Hahah still using it in 2023. It’s just a ritual and I only got to see backing once while fishing when I got spooled by a jet ski. For me, there’s nothing bad about it 😂Tight lines!

Had my 6000 for over a year and tried it last Sunday. No complaints. It works really smooth. Going for the 4000 soon.

Try a VR instead of the VSX. Maybe you will like it. I think the staals are better but that’s me. Do you like the slammer or saragosa more?
Is there a reason why you use the 40lb Power Pro vs. something lighter?
Run the line through a heavy book from the spool to the reel
You should use 30lb braid instead. No need for 40lb with stripers. The line will cast further and much better. You only need 20 to 25lb mono backing.
Agreed. I’ve gone lighter since then. 25lb mono backing and 30lb test is what I use now!
I heard so many positive reviews about slammer 3.
I use a 4000 reel with 30 lb braid caught a 44 inch 50 inch and 45 inch with no problems

I have a saragosa 6000 thinking ab going to a salt x 6k is it bigger is size ? Also what do u think ab that?

What size will you compare that 6000 with
Was the reel stiff for u when u first got it when reeling?
Frankie Dragotto Yup it was. Probably because of the sealing.
The Angler Crew I just got mine today was reeling felt very stiff did it break in a little or it staid like that
Which reel will get you the most distance?
Was it used?
The VS is also 600$ more I'll take a lil whisper for 600 bucks
All you need is 30 lb braid for striper fishing
Who made this reel ?

Hahah still using it in 2023. It’s just a ritual and I only got to see backing once while fishing when I got spooled by a jet ski. For me, there’s nothing bad about it 😂Tight lines!
