I would go with a similar sized Penn SS series. I have three Penn 4400SS reals that are bullet proof for saltwater use. Oh but I can not recommend the 4300SS made different not as good.

Try the Penn 706Z, it uses a roller bearing guide instead of a bail (no bail to flop over on those extreme cast)that alone has saved me many dollars of flying and no longer attached lures. It's very fast retrieve allows better catches of fish that demand a fast bait. A great reel!
