Reel suggestions?

[massbassman]

Hey bud! I have had a couple of the spheros 8000, and love them! A great , solid reel for the money, have heard a few good things about the Saragosa and was wondering what peoples thoughts were. Maybe i should be sticking with what ive had good luck on and forget the latter.
Its funny you suggested the 9'6", cause thats exactly the rod im looking at. I should have said that weight is a concern with the existing shoulder problem. What size reel would you pair it with Chef, Ive always used the 8000FB. Also are you going to be in Worcester in a few weeks for the show?...would love to catch up!
