Description
Saltwater fishing doesn't have to be expensive. Take this Offshore Angler™ Sea Lion™ Spinning Reel, for instance. Built saltwater tough, it's priced to please. Its 5-bearing system assures smooth performance and even includes our Powerlock™ instant anti-reverse. This dependable workhorse boasts corrosion resistant carbon composite frame and rotor, a strong double anodized aluminum spool, and a stainless steel main shaft. Once the hook is set, this baby uses a smooth and powerful 10 disk drag stack to slow tough saltwater sluggers. Other features include an anodized aluminum handle, a solid stainless steel bail wire, and an oversized, hard-chrome-plated line roller. The Sea Lion is a lot of reel for the money, and we're not lyin'.

Great for CatfishWanted a spinning reel that I could use in Oklahoma for Catfish and Paddlefish. This fit the bill perfectly though it loosens up after a few catches. The only thing I am disappointed is that it does not have a spare reel.

Excellent Surf Reel on a BudgetI needed a reel to allow my buddy to do some surf fishing with me, so I bought the SL60 size and put 17lb monofilament on it.
The two main things I like about the reel is the weight and the smooth reeling action.
The reel sacrifices durability and toughness by going with a cheaper non-metal body. This means that the reel body has the possibility of twisting and bending in the reel seat when under a heavy load from large game fish. Will it? Probably not, Can it? Maybe. So in that respect, don't go targeting marlin and large sharks with this reel. The non-metal body will handle pompano, redfish and various other surf fish with ease all while affording a lighter weight and a corrosion proof reel body.
The reel has a fantastic feel when reeling. It is smooth and quiet. The line doesn't bunch up on the top or bottom of the spool as is common with cheaper reels. It lays down line reliably which is a must when you have 100+yds of line out in the surf to reel in.
The anti-reverse seems a bit cheap. Bass Pro calls it Powerlock "Instant" Anti-reverse, but I suspect it is dependent on a spring mechanism like many cheaper reels. I do not know this for sure, so don't hold me to that. At any rate, it's not "instant". It is "Almost Instant". The back reel is not ideal for lures, but a very minor factor when fishing baits in the surf.
Lastly, the drag is strong and smooth; however, the drag difference you get a with one click of the knob may give you a big difference or you may get a negligible amount of drag difference, so it can be difficult to really dial it in exactly, but it works and the drag is very smooth.

Great reelsI have two of the SLS80 reels and one each of the SLS50 and SLS60. I've set them up with the Sea Lion rods and they all work flawlessly. I've landed everything from little bait stealers all the way up to large Kingfish, Grouper, Snapper, Amberjacks, and sharks. Never had a failure yet and they work smooth.

Smooth ReelThe last time I went to BPS, I purchased the small version of the Sea Lion to do some salt water fishing. I spooled it up with 50lb Power Pro and went out fishing for the day. It is very smooth and works quite well. For what I paid for it, I am very satisfied with this reel.

what size reel would you suggest for a 6'8 Medium X-Fast Spinning rod by Toad fish Outfitters
Asked by: Gus 1
Choosing the correct reel size is as easy as determining the size fishing line you intend to use most often. The lighter the line you intend to use, the smaller the reel you should purchase. Ten-pound test line should be the highest strength and diameter used on a spinning reel. (This is not applicable for saltwater fishing or heavy trolling scenarios.) see https://1source.basspro.com/index.php/component/k2/238-fishing-tackle/632-buying-guide-picking-the-best-spinning-reel

Why is this reel rated 5 stars compared to tightline 'll. Both the same price.
Thanks
Asked by: Dakboy1
Thank you for your question!
The star ratings are based on the average score given by customer reviews for a specific item. This reel has simply received more positive reviews than the Tightline II. If you're curious, you can click the Reviews tab (to the right of the Description tab and the left of the Product Questions tab) to see what people liked or disliked about both reels.
I hope this information helps!

Will this reel work for vertical jigging for amberjack?
Asked by: Fishing Now
This reel would be a bit small for that purpose. While you may get away with catching small 20-pounders on medium tackle, it’s always best to use heavy gear when targeting amberjacks because eventually the big dog will go for the bait. Use a heavy reel capable of lots of tension and holding 80-to-100 pound test line. The reel should have at least 25 pounds of drag or more.
