Urgent: Shimano Spheros owners

[urbanforest92]

Spheros 5000 SW good for Calicos in the kelp?

Ordering one for my wife tonight and I'd like to hear some feedback on people who've used this reel in a kayak. Alan hawk made a good review and pretty much made up my mind on buying it. Love to hear some feedback from people who've used this reel.

Thanks in advance

I'd get a 3 or 4000. You really don't need the extra weight and I've caught striped bass up to 30 pounds on my 4000.

I was looking more for a reel that can handle the saltwater a little more. Alan Hawks review made me think that this is a great reel for the salt. Our kayaks have a lower profile and our gear and reels get soaked
