I bought 3 of these reels all 6000 series with a 25% discounted sale. All spooled with 28lb 0.50mm mono. I use them specifically on salt water day and night fishing of a pier for Mangrove Snapper using live prawns for bait. They are a good solid reel for their price but they are not really saltwater resistant as advertised I had saltwater splashed into the reverse switch and it eventually rusted the bearing were the brass pinion sits on. I was able to soak the bearings in rust remover solution and oiled it and got it working again. Also the metal piece of steel (return clip) that closes the bail after you cast rusted as well. Both the metal bail return clip and the bearings are not stainless steel but other parts like the spool washers and a few other parts are. Also the reel foot was a bit too thick to fit on my rods reel seat so I had to sand the reel foot back about 1mm off without any issues or reduction of strength. Overall this reel will last many years. The only issue you may have is to replace some rusty bearings at most if they are.not properly lubricated or even better greased up. But over all they are a great reel. You get more reel for your money. As long as you grease/oil it well when you buy it you won't have any issues. I only had one of the 3 reels have rust on the pinion bearing because I never greased and oiled it when I bought it. But the other 2 no rust after using if for weeks in saltwater because I had greased and oiled it before using it. I have Penn,Shimano, Banak, Teben and other branded reels....the bearking Assasin is almost just as good provided you keep it well greased and oiled.

Are you sure it’s a left hand only reel? Aliexpress add shows you can swap left to right?

Since it is sealed and big spool capacity, im curious how this reel perform on heavy pulling. Just wanna make sure this reel is good enough for deep fishing before buying it.... looks nice dough
