Before I get too far, I need to restate my intentions with the reel. It will not be used as a "surf" reel, and will be more of a light tackle, back bay setup. It will probably not see much more than a splash. In the salt, is what I should have said. So with that said,I'm just wondering about the overall performance of the reel. The changes, according to Shimano, even in downsizing the reel, all reflect positive improvements to the internal components, and reducing overall weight, which is what draws me to the reel. The only drawback I see is the jump in size from the 5000 to the 6000, which I feel is huge. The 6000, compares closely to my Spheros 8000. It feels slightly small on the GSB, although extremely light. I really do like the reel as its always had a solid reputation.
