Honestly, it's what a bunch of us in store use, the Shimano Thunnus 8000 / Backbone combo is simply outstanding!
The baitrunner system works like a dream, the drag is silky smooth, the gearing is fantastic, there is not much more we can say about this reel that hasn't been said before. Paired with the Shimano Backbone 7' 6-10kg rod it is well balanced and perfect for targeting trophy sized snapper, either in the deep or in the shallows.
