Shimano Thunnus 6000.

Hi , I'm looking for a pair of these to adorn my new 2.25 basiias.
Must be in very good /excellent condition.
Cash waiting hopefully 😄
 
I would also consider 8000 as there not a lot heavier, and would only be on the rests, probs 98 percent of the time, the other 1 percent casting and messing about.
And 1 percent hoping for a bite?
 
Hi Jim, they are all the same as this.

Thanks Kevin, I looked at this option , but when you add 90 import tax and customs fees???.
Ill stick with the wide drum deluxe speedias I have on them for now.
Thanks for the suggestions
Jim
 
Thanks Jon, just went to checkout and they only have 1, I've emailed fishernator, and they will let me know when they are available again.
Thanks for the help.
 
Hi does anybody have any experience fitting gomexus power knobs to the 6000thunnus.
I know they don't fit on the 4000 as I've tried, needs a load of washers or something 🤷.
But I have 4 6000s coming from the land of ozz.
There only 166 each plus a bribe to ship to the UK.
If they don't bring out a CI4+ soon with the higher carbon to resin body.
I fear the Thunnus will be discontinued.

Thunnus wont ever be discontinued Jim. They are one of the most popular salt water reels going in the countries they are sold. The Americans and Australians absolutely love em and they ain’t stupidly expensive to purchase out there.

It was never intended for the uk market hence why distributors can’t obtain them unless they buy from another distributor abroad in which case its being marked up 3 times before we get them.
