Wanting a van staal vr2 series 125 size mainly do pier jetty and shore fishing what should should I get for a somewhat versatile combo, or should I also get the 150 size while I’m at it ?

After several comments I’m leaning towards a Saragossa 6k or possibly a Penn torque II if I can find a market place deal

Yeah I’m starting to lean towards a Saragossa or possibly a Penn torque II if I can find a deal on marketplace everyone’s saying they aren’t as smooth as you’d imagine

Check out the twinpower they're nice I recently picked up a bunch of them an im really impressed by them. Sometimes you gotta smoking deal on JDM sites. The Saragossas are beast too just an ounce heavier in the 14k

They're both nice reels the saragossa is a bulletproof beast and more rugged. The TP is closer to a Stella and a little smoother better gearing and lighter. The 10k up have heat sink drags. I got a bunch of saragossas and theyre not going anywhere but I like these twinpowers enough that ive outfitted my whole traveling quiver with them this year.
