Fixed spool

[Cwab]

In general would a 6500 size have the same say “lifting power” or basic strength as a 9500 size model or is the difference just spool capacity or would one winch more weight than tuther with less stress on parts etc?
Two examples, a fin nor offshore 9500 and 6500 vs two house bricks and eighty yard vertical lift any info appreciated.
Wind knots and ring wraps plus distance not a concern for now

I would use a Hod for the bricks

No idea on the reels

Speaking from experience, a fin nor offshore 6500 wouldn't even know you had two breeze blocks on the end of the rod, let alone two house bricks.
I used to use one for rock fishing, absolute tank of a reel and would probably deadlift anything in British waters up a cliff quite happily.

At least in daylight you will be able to see the bin when you chuck the ozzie crap in it. Fin nor all the way
