2500 spin reel

Hi
I am looking for a spin reel in 2500 size, preferably Daiwa but I will still take shimano. I am looking to spend around $300. It should also have a decent line capacity and drag as it will be a jewie and snapper reel. I am looking at the daiwa caldia at the moment but not really sure what to get.

I'd look for a second hand certate around that price. Will handle those fish with ease and they are the best bang for ya buck reels on the market .

Rarenium would be my choice, but it's a shimano

+1. Certate if you can find one. Even a 2010 model.

A 2510 Luvias from Japan would also do the job for $280 new. Very well put together. Certate would be tougher but Luvias is nice also.

I've had a rarenium and they're fine. But Luvias or Certate are better IMO for that money.

Soon as I saw the deal I grabbed a 2500, and with another 10% from a discount code I only paid $215 for the reel.
