I have been using a Daiwa ss2600 on a 9ft rod for quite a few years now and am very happy with it. It is light, handles braid well has a good drag and is low maintenance.
The reel has been dunked and dropped in the sand more times than I care to talk about. All I do is rinse it off with a hose after I get home and then in the winter give it a good cleaning.
