Where, When, How

The Shimano Socorro 8000SW is perfect for saltwater environments like coastal shores, piers, and offshore waters. Best used in early morning or late afternoon when fish are more active, this reel excels in pursuing hard-fighting species like tarpon, yellowtail, and striped bass. Pair it with a heavy-action rod and a braided line for maximum power and durability. Cast near structures or channels where fish tend to congregate, and use live bait or jigs to draw in aggressive strikes.
