Nasci 4000.
They go on special a fair bit at the major retailers. Think you can get them around the 120.

Speed is not only a ratio thing another thing to consider is spool diameter

If I'd get a 4000 reel, you reckon 5.2:1 ratio be fast enough? Coz obviously 4000 reels have bigger diameter than 3000 reels.

Don't really know Sebb the reel I bought for spinning off the beach was a Shimano 5000 Stradic FK 6.1 gear ratio I'm not sure but I think they just have a deeper cuts pool I don't really know if the 5000 has a bigger diameter I've never owned a 4000 size I have 4 5000 size reels the 6 to 1 in the 5000 Stradic handles wave speed not a problem .Sebb wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 5:03 amThat's true.Tackleberry wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 1:45 amSpeed is not only a ratio thing another thing to consider is spool diameter

The Daiwa exceler 5000 that I have has a 5.2:1 retrieve and roughly the same size spool it seems to do all right but at times you really do have to crank a bit but have not been beaten by a wave .
I got it when they were $125 each and needed to replace the drag washers good reel for that price but not at the $179 they want now the price rise is why I never bought another one.
Sorry I am not more help cheers

No need to say sorry. Thanks for the info, definitely makes me to rethink the plan.Tackleberry wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 2:30 pmDon't really know Sebb the reel I bought for spinning off the beach was a Shimano 5000 Stradic FK 6.1 gear ratio I'm not sure but I think they just have a deeper cuts pool I don't really know if the 5000 has a bigger diameter I've never owned a 4000 size I have 4 5000 size reels the 6 to 1 in the 5000 Stradic handles wave speed not a problem .Sebb wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 5:03 amThat's true.Tackleberry wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 1:45 amSpeed is not only a ratio thing another thing to consider is spool diameter

i figure its easier to wind a fast reel slower than a slow reel faster.
i also just had a look on aliexpress and bought another piscifun honor xt in 2000 sz, couldn't help myself at $56.

Just get a 4000 Sedona or Sienna or something. I wouldn't worry about the retrieve too much honestly. If there's salmon around 9 times out of 10 it won't make a lick of difference how fast your lure is moving as long as it's shiny.
I've got a Quantum Smoke Inshore 40 which has been great, don't think Jarvis is importing those anymore judging by what Dinga has in stock. There's a Quantum Reliance that might be ok.
