Quick take
A 6000-size saltwater spinning reel with live bait drag that auto-disengages during retrieve.
The PENN Fierce III Live Liner in size 6000 is a spinning reel with a full metal body and sideplate for inshore and nearshore bait fishing. Its Live Liner drag can be left set and disengages with a turn of the handle, so a bait can run freely until you are ready to engage. HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers and a 4+1 shielded stainless steel bearing system back it up, with up to 25 pounds of maximum drag.
