New big fish / beach / rockhopper reel help
G'day guys, so dusted off my big fish reel (6000 abu cardinal) and realised the bail arm and assembly is all bent and buggered somehow. Only an 80 buck reel but need some ideas for a new one. SO:
Chasing bigger stuff like kings / spinning for sambos / snapper fishing if i get a chance, will be a hard lived reel most likely, ability to lay braid well with a nice drag, workhorse status. Use: general harbour / estuary, possibly some beach if I dare brave the sand with it. Budget: around the 200 mark give or take. Options so far: Stradic FJ 5000, Pen Spinfisher or SSM or similar. Any ideas appreciated lads. Doesn't need a heck of a lot of finesse but quality counts. Cheers

Daiwa Exceler 4500T would be the go - and suprisingly I have one for sale if you are interested with Carbontex drag in immaculate condition spooled with PowerPro Slick 8 braid.

Thunnus Ci4 is a good option. Around $280 but plenty of drag, and Ci4 means you can purchase a 6000 size reel with the weight of a 4000 reel.

wait until end of the month and buy a Daiwa Procyon EX 4000
Its a ballistic EX with one less bearing and slightly different body components. 8kg drag plenty for off the stones MAG sealed - the cheapest reel on the market with mag seal perfect for rocks/beach Hi speed for slugs Light weight oh and it looks amazing as per most Daiwa reels, dont buy from the australian reseller it has an exclusive sale deal with they are terrible, ( check the daiwa website for info pertaining to this ) just grab it online from the US way cheaper. Get a decent braid and it will take 300m rated to 300m for PE2.5 and most good 30lb braid is around this mark. You dont need big spools for kings from the stones, you either get bricked rubbed off or you land it. You will never ever get spooled with a king.
