Our Offshore Angler™ SeaFire Conventional Saltwater Reel draws strength from its 1-piece, CNC-machined aluminum frame. Its smooth and precise feel is the product of 4 sealed stainless steel ball bearings that are engineered to perform in a harsh saltwater environment. Additional features include: an anodized-aluminum Power Handle with oversized knob for sure cranking power; corrosion-resistant brass main gear and stainless steel pinion for grinding in brutes; a powerful star drag system; a double-anodized, machined-aluminum spool with line capacity rings; and an audible bait clicker. The SeaFire is ideal when bottom fishing for snapper or grouper. It's also great when trolling for tuna, dolphin, and kingfish.

''We started using Seafire reels 8 months ago, during our Cobia, kingfish and dolphin season. We have now caught from sailfish to snappers and everything in between with the Seafire. These reels have performed for two to three trips a day for the past 8 months and have not required service. Extremely happy with their durability!''

Dont wast your moneyReel looks nice, good weight and smooth operation; however, it only lasted 3 trips. I had a large fish on and I herd a snap and it went into free spool and that was it. I could not retrieve the fish, had to cut the line and I am returning the reel to Cabela's this week. Trash.

Reel seized up1st shark (200lbs) and the reel no longer functions. Click over the lever and it no longer cranks have to click it over multiple times to get it to catch again. Wished this had lasted longer than 15 mins on a shark.

great for sharkI got the 9/0 about a month ago and have been destroying sharks on the west coast of Florida. I have it spooled with 100-pound monofilament with 100-pound braid backing. I recently caught an 8-foot sandbar shark on a Bonita's head

Solid reels2 yrs ago I purchased 2 of the SF/ 6/0 reels paired with Bill Fisher 30-80 6ft rods. Use mainly offshore bottom fishing off of NC coast. Does a really good job. Gets everything up except when line or tackle break. Very solid reels.

Seafire 9/0Appears to be a good reel, I plan to use this 9/0 for planers and trolling leads..
If the 44 pound max drag is correct it should do fine.
It came with front reel braces but doesn't have the forward lugs.to attach them.
The Offshore Angler SeaFire Conventional Saltwater ReelLine Capacity for the 80 lb test is 325 yards, Thank you for your question.

Are the side plates graphite? There's no mention of what material is used. Also, is the anti-reverse used a dog or an AR bearing or a combination of both?
Asked by: pinoyfisher
Thank you for choosing Bass Pro Shops. The side plates are graphite.

What about using these reels for Alaska halibut
Asked by: Goat Hunter
Hi, you will want to match rods, reels and line to the kind of terminal gear you’ll be fishing. Any reel used for saltwater fishing should be tough and made to withstand the corrosive abuse dished out by constant exposure to the marine environment, but two specific variables are especially important in a reel that’s going to be used in deep water for large, strong fish: line capacity and gear ratio. Use a rod and reel setup capable of handling fish over 100 pounds.
Lever drag reels are excellent for halibut fishing, because they offer convenient fine drag adjustment in the process of fighting your fish.
You’ll want to choose a reel with a large handle and the highest gear ratio possible. The fewer revolutions you have to turn the reel to get the fish up from the bottom the better. Halibut fishing is a marathon and can be downright brutal work, so do everything in your power to make it as easy as possible.
Yes, the Offshore Angler SeaFire Conventional Saltwater Reel sounds like a good option for Halibut fishing in Alaska.
Thank you

ARE THE DRAG WASHERS LEATHER OR CARBON FIBER??
Asked by: JEEPOHOLIC
Can the crank handle be moved to the end hole for more cranking power?
Asked by: JetCraft
Does the 9/0 model come with any other way to attach it to the rod than the reel seat? I know reels of that size usually come with some clamp or fastener to help attach it to the rod. I imagine with heavy drag the reel would flex.
