I have mine paired with the 7'6" Rampage conventional and it is great for white sea bass, medium tuna, and yellowtail. For heavy surf fishing (sharks, rays, etc.) The SGT50H pairs very well with many 11-12 ft Heavy conventional rods like the Ugly Stik Bigwater, Okuma Solaris and Longitude, Daiwa Sealine, and - my favorite - the Penn Battalion. **Q: Can it be used for surf or pier fishing** A: Big conventional reels are inherently more difficult to master than smaller versions. If your intent is to do a lot of distance casting in the surf but you don't need the brawn to tackle big sharks or huge gamefish on 50 lb mono or 80 lb spectra, I'd steer you towards the nimble Seagate 30H filled with 40 to 50 lb braid, or a conventional that offers magnetic braking such as the Akios 656, Penn Squall 15, or Abu Blue Yonder. I swapped the red brakes for heavier Daiwa white brakes on my 50 H and found they make the reel very docile on 100 yard casts with 8-and-bait. **Q: does this have free floating spool like the sealine x-sha models?** A: Not sure if the Seagate is a floating spool or through pinion spool shaft. I have both and the Seagate is a significant upgrade from the Sealine x-sha. I have several Sealines, Seagates, Saltists and one Saltiga. The Seagates and Saltists are similar in performance and cast better than my Sealine x-sha. **Q: How many inch can it retrieve per crank?** A: It depends on how much line is on the reel. Of greater concern should be the quality and ratio. The reel is well made and fast. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1814241-daiwa-seagate-star-drag-reels](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1814241-daiwa-seagate-star-drag-reels) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-17*
