Quick take
Heavily sealed saltwater spinning reel with 13 water-resistant seals and 30 lb drag for surf and heavy saltwater fishing.
The Tsunami Shield 6000 is a sealed saltwater spinning reel with an aluminum body, machined aluminum spool and rotor, and a 4.9:1 gear ratio. Its braid-ready spool and 30 lb max drag suit surf anglers casting heavier rigs from the beach. Thirteen internal seals and four stainless steel bearings keep water out of the works.
