From redfish to tarpon, the GSW Saltwater Series has a size that's right for the job at hand. IPX5 sealing keeps saltwater away from internal components so you spend time fighting fish without worrying about the guts in your reel. With critical bearings and components machined from stainless steel and an aluminum body and side cover, you'll be able to outlast the most unruly saltwater fish. An over-sized, carbon-fiber drag delivers fish-stopping power even with heavier braided lines.

Amazing reel for reds and mangroves!

Used the 3000 series reel for the first time this past weekend. We were targeting mangroves on rigs in the Gulf. Ended up catching several mangroves and several 8-10 pound red snapper. The drag was needed with these larger fish and it worked perfectly! Gonna add more to my arsenal for sure.

ALUMINUM CONSTRUCTION

The body and side cover of the GSW Series are precision die-cast from a special corrosion-resistant aluminum, then anodized and painted with a multi-step process to further protect it from saltwater damage. The rotor on the larger 6000 and 8000 sizes are also aluminum die-cast to prevent any flex under higher drag settings with heavier lines.

IPX5 WATER-RESISTANT DESIGN

Seals located at critical points on the body and spool insure that both gearbox and drag system stay saltwater free. With IPX5 sealing, critical components remain protected from boat spray or wash downs at the dock, insuring your reel is always in top shape and battle-ready. Its sealed drag system keeps saltwater out so your drag is at peak performance when it matters most.

BRAID-READY FORGED SPOOL

A one-piece, forged aluminum spool is machined and hard anodized. This highly skeletonized design minimizes weight, while maintaining strength. A braid band allows the use of braid tied directly to the spool without the need for backing. A unique spool lip design maximizes casting distance by minimizing line contact during the cast.

CARBON-FIBER DRAG

Features friction washers made from woven carbon fiber, which is virtually impervious to wear. The drag stack is sealed to prevent saltwater intrusion from affecting performance. Multiple carbon and stainless steel washers provide a wide drag range with higher lockdowns for use with heavier braids. The 6000 and 8000 sizes contain an additional oversized carbon washer on the rear of the spool that increases drag performance and heat dissipation with larger fish.
