This combo is ideal for chasing GT and larger Kingfish on stickbaits and poppers around schools of bait, reefs, bommies and headlands. The Shimano Spheros 8000 is a strong reel, its body has less entry points for sand and water whilst also giving the reel a rigid feel. The Shimano Spheros 8000 can handle saltwater spray which is an essential feature of an offshore reel as typically when fishing in the ocean your gear tends to get wet. The reel has an impressive 13kg of drag which is certainly enough to stop a GT or big Kingy. The Shimano Jewel comes in at 8ft2 meaning you can maximise your casting distance, this helps as you can keep the boat further away from the headlands and bommies you are fishing, therefore your vessel will be both in calmer and safer waters. You can also cast into schools of bait on the surface from further away in order not to scare them down. Fishing with a longer rod gives the angler more leverage on the fish accounting for an easier and quicker fish, due to this you are less likely to get busted off, sharked or pull hooks.
