Went fishing today and caught this weird looking fish, trying to find out what it is from Google and the fish species but still couldn't identify it. Can anyone tell me what fish is this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the reply guys, I did realised saragosa 8000 or 10000 might be a bit overkill for tailor, whiting and flathead in general. I'm more targeting for kingfish and jewfish if I can find them (as I'm only a beginner, I don't really know what is a good spot other than pier 2 but there's always tonnes of people there) I am probably looking for a reel that will last a while and from seeing the reviews, it seems the saragosa is full shielded and protected from the sand and water although I don't intend to dump it either in sand or salt water lol. @snapper May I know which Penn you got? I will be using mainly braid and maybe last 100m on mono, what do you guys think? and is a 50lb braid an overkill too?

Hi Guys, I would like to start to try out a bit of surf/rock fishing. Currently I have a 10"6 Wilson shoreline Rod and a 12" Wilson Live Fibre. I'm looking at getting a good reel for the 12" Wilson Live Fibre but I have a budget. I've done my research and almost narrow down to Shimano Saragosa sw10000 for $289 or Shimano Spheros sw10000 for $199. (unless if there's other suggestion for a better for value reel) Just would like to know what the experience fisherman would suggest as some says the Saragosa is only slight improvement than the Spheros and is not worth the extra dollar but some said it is as the material is better. Mainly I am hoping to target medium size fish like tailor, flathead, kings and jew. Should I go for the 10000 or would you guys recommend I go for the 6000 with higher gear ratio but less line capacity and reduced weight? Thanks in advance for the advice!
