No doubt about it, Mother Ocean is one tough mother. That’s why the GSW Saltwater Series is designed to keep her corrosive tendencies out, and dependability in. Every component in every reel is engineered to withstand the harshest saltwater conditions on earth and dependability when it counts. From redfish to tarpon, the GSW Saltwater Series has a size that's right for the job at hand. IPX5 sealing keeps saltwater away from internal components so you spend time fighting fish without worrying about the guts in your reel. With critical bearings and components machined from stainless steel and an aluminum body and side cover, you'll be able to outlast the most unruly saltwater fish. An over-sized, carbon-fiber drag delivers fish-stopping power even with heavier braided lines. • Corrosion resistant aluminum alloy die-cast body and side cover• Aluminum die-cast rotor on 6000 & 8000 size• Sealed IPX5 design protects against saltwater intrusion• 6 + 1 shielded stainless steel bearing system• Forged aluminum spool with braid band• Multi-stack carbon fiber / stainless steel drag system• Precision hobbed hard brass pinion and die-cast drive gear• Geared Slow S-Curve oscillation system with internal support guide• Custom designed high-strength aluminum handle arm• Oversized paddle knob on 3000/4000 sizes• Round power knob on 6000/8000 sizes MODEL SIZE RETRIEVE GEAR RATIO RETRIEVE RATE WEIGHT(OZ) MAX DRAG (LBS) MONO CAPACITY (YDS/LB TEST) BRAID CAPACITY (YDS/LB TEST) APPLICATION GSW3000 3000 Light Saltwater RH / LH 6.0:1 36" / Turn 12.9 22 210/10 200/20 Jigs, jerkbaits, soft jerkbaits, live bait rigs, swimbaits, topwater lures GSW4000 4000 Medium Saltwater RH / LH 6.0:1 39" / Turn 13.2 22 210/12 230/30 Jigs, jerkbaits, soft jerkbaits, live bait rigs, swimbaits, topwater lures GSW6000 6000 Medium Heavy Saltwater RH / LH 5.7:1 45" / Turn 22.7 39 345/17 160/30 490/30, 330/50 Jigs, Bait rigs, jigging lures, large swimbaits, vertical jigging, pitch baits, big swimbaits GSW8000 8000 Heavy Saltwater RH / LH 4.9:1 44" / Turn 29.2 52 490/20, 220/30 490/50, 400/65 Jigs, Bait rigs, jigging lures, large swimbaits, vertical jigging, pitch baits, big swimbaits
