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!''

Excellent quality reelI bought this reel when it first came out and I so far has been an excellent reel. If used it for tarpon and shark fishing and if had no problems. Another great thing is that it has more drag than the penn senators.

Pros and consBought it for bonita and dorado when i go to mexico. Works fine trolling but not for any kind of casting. The 40lb mono gets caught in the side of the spool and literally goes into the reel. There is too much space between spool and side. I tighten the drag to minimize the gap but still line went in when i tried to cast. So i stoped using it since it mest up every time. Is it a defect or thats how they are? Ill never know.

Great reelI love my 6/0, but I have to say at full or even half spool it does not do 44 pounds of drag. I had mine spooled up with 1000 yards of 65 pound braid and 200 yard top shot of 80pound mono. I hooked a large shark off the beach and despite locking down the drag could not turn it. The reel put out maybe 25-30 pounds of drag. On low spool it started to put out more drag but even a jig master does 40 pounds at empty spool. overall though it feels as though it has a very solid construction and has landed several large rays and sharks.

Well Constructed ReelPurchased this reel for halibut fishing around Homer, Alaska. The reel works really great, landed a 92 lb halibut the 2nd day out. The SF4/0 reel is by far, worth the money. Purchased a second one.

Bait clicker fell off right awayI pulled the reel out of the box and within 10 turns of the reel the bait clicker fell off it's post on the inside of the reel. I took it apart and snapped it back on. Put the reel back together..... ten more turns and it fell off again. I simply wasn't attached to anything other than a friction fit that was very loose. Instead of wasting my time sending it back I permanently fixed it myself so that I know it will work for me. This process wasted about an hour of my evening..... I haven't even mounted this rig on a rod yet.
Overall the construction is very nice and seems very solid.

replacing my senatorafter getting spooled on my 6/0 senator i decided i needed to get a little more drag. didnt want to spend to get another sql50 vsw which is a monster by the way. i saw this reel, has just as much drag, holds half the line but cost a fraction of the price. sql50vsw $350. sea fire 6/0 $89. tied 30 lbs of weight to my senator cranked down drag. would not move the weight. tied same weight to sea fire and pulled it all around the yard. 30 pounds of weight plus the resistance of dragging on the ground, i am happy so far. time to go catch some more sharks!

Seafire reels are the BEST!We have been using many different rod and reel companies over the course of our comapny's long history. It has not been until the offshore angler seafire reel that we have found such affordable, reliable, and high quality products. Their seafire reels are so well priced and hold up to some of the MOST abuse we can dish out. We purchased 70 of their 4/0 reels for use on our boats we loved them so much and recently came back for 20 more, they are bullet proof even when being used by inexperienced anglers who often try and reel the wrong way and are not gentle or caring with the reel. We then had so much success using the 4/0 reels we have gone and purchased 30 of their 6/0 reels, yes that means we have purchases 120 of these seafire reels in total from offshore angler and bass pro shops and we can't say enough great things. You can see from the photo and video attached to this review that Hubbard's Marina has caught great fish with these reels from Offshore angler - bass pro shops! Hope you get a chance to fish with these reliable and well priced reels someday soon, tight lines and remember... "If you're too busy to go fishing, You're just too busy!"
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.

Anyone try this as a kite fishing reel? Just getting started and don't want to spend a ton on another International. Kite / Rod says I need 35lbs of drag. Thoughts?

What's the best lb line for this reel? I like to shark fish my self, and do you think braided line is better
Asked by: Wezal
for shark 40-100lb mono and 40-200lb braid it can hold but for the 4/0 i suggest 30-50lb mono and 40-80lb 6/0 50-80lb mono and 65-100lb braid finally for 9/0 50-100lb mono and 80-150lb braid for this reel use mono it presents more drag and it holds way to much braid for anybody who doesn't think $200 isn't a lot of money

What is a good idea to troll for with the 6/0?
Asked by: Hunterbaseball4
Big Game!
With the advertised 44 pounds of drag (we'll see what it actually is), it should make a good reel for a planer rod.
It should be easily able to pull a number 4 planer at 6 knots without having to max-out the drag like I've have to do with my 114H Senators.

Will the penn aftermarket 4:1 gears fit in 4/0 size SeaFire?
Asked by: UluaAl
Our Seafire 4/0 reel is not manufactured by Penn so we have no way of knowing if their gears fit inside our reel.

What's the warranty
Asked by: Jimndad
Thank you for your question. Bass Pro Shops brand rods and reels including this reel are warranted for 1 year from the date of purchase against defects in materials, workmanship, and against breakage under normal fishing conditions, to the original purchaser. This warranty is void if the rod or reel is in an abused or misused condition and does not cover "normal wear and tear." A dated sales receipt is required for warranty validation.

How do I spool this reel by hand?
I know I can take it into the shop and have them do it. But I'm superstitious and rather do it myself. Unless it's absolutely positively necessary that I take it into the shop. My question is how do I spool this using only 40 pound mono. What type of knot do I tie around the spool? I don't want it to slip obviously. Can I use a uni Or an arbor knot?
Asked by: Nick365
If you're spooling braided line, add a layer of monofilament to the spool as backing to prevent slippage. Use a double uni knot to attach mono to braid.
Attach the reel to a rod for easier reeling.
Thread line through the top side of the guide closest to the reel seat and then through the casting reel's line guide. For a spincast reel, be sure to run line through the opening in the reel face before tying it to the spool, and screw the reel face back on before spooling the line.
Tie the line to the spool using an arbor knot.
Put a pen or pencil into the center of the supply spool and have an assistant place some tension on the spool as the line comes off. The line should feed off the top of the supply spool to avoid twist. Keep the line taut as you reel to ensure even line lay. Fill the reel to within 1/8" of the outer rim of the spool and cut off the excess. Be sure to stop and check the progress to make sure you are not adding too much line to a spincast reel.
