Wich reel to use? Stradic 8000 FI??

[carliandres]

Hi!!
I have a question regarding which spinning reel should I buy to use in surf, spinning, jiggin' and trolling??
I own a Stradic 5000 FI, so far it's a great reel but I would like to have one that keeps more line..(I fish powerpro 30lb), should I buy the Stradic FI 8000, or the Quantum Cabo 80?? My top budget is 229 USD...I use my stradic in most of this situations but later I've been encountering some pretty big jacks and an ocasionally tarpon that almost give me a heart attack...I've to cast pretty far and that lefts me with not so much line to fight them...
I'll apreciate all your help.
Thanks!!

The Stradic 8000FI will handle those fish and hold plenty of 30# Power Pro. I think you will be happy with one.

Thanks a lot Bantam!!
Do you think it could tame an angry mahi-mahi or even a king fish??
I want to pair it with a Shimano Trevala for jiggin'' and trolling and for Surf with a 10" MH St Croix Surf Rod....all this set ups with powerpro 30lb.
