Basically, I have a budget of $250 for a reel. Iām very unknowledgeable when it comes to rods and reels so thisāll be my first purchase thatās not a combo set. I saltwater fish for Porgys, Stripped Bass and Bluefish so Iām looking for something that can handle the braid line thatāll accompany that which is like 30 pounds because thatās what I have on hand to use. If possible I would prefer the reel to have blue accents on it to match the rod I currently have. (also pls recommend the gear ratio and everything cause iām not sure what that does).
I found this Tsunami Evict 2 which is what iām looking for, which is 4000 size. but I havenāt seen any proper reviews on it. So if anyone has it lmk aswell.
Everything will help! Thanks š

Shamino guy but I’m going to recommend the Penn Battle 3 size 4000
The workhorse of the saltwater reels. Nothing fancy and unfortunately not blue. Butttttttt will last you a decade vs Tsunami. Nothing beats this reel when it comes to working and pulling in nice strippers
Won’t be the lightest or the smoothest but will just work day in and day out. 110$ on sale
Shimano ” Gosa ” for fancy
With the Battle 3′ this will save your bank roll for your next reel when you have enough experience to know what you want and now you’ll have a second pole that will still be around for 10+ years
You’re fishing strippers you need 3 poles anyways when you get enough experience. 1 for throwing jerks and swims 2nd for catching small bait fish 3rd for the bait fish pole the monster pole probably 5000-6000 reel with 40+ braid ( big boys )
Daiwa or penn shimano is junk in my opinion too many issues from the last hand full Iāve bought
