Quick take
A large-capacity saltwater spinning reel with 48lb drag and aluminum spool for surf and offshore fishing.
The Dr.Fish Long Shot LS-12000 is a large saltwater spinning reel built for surf casting and offshore work. It pairs a 3.9:1 gear ratio with a front drag, 13+1 ball bearings and a big aluminum spool for holding heavy braided line. Anglers chasing large fish from the beach or a boat will find the size 12000 body suited to that job.
