Quantum Cabo 40 or 60 are fine sturdy reels with the best warranty you will find.
I've had my 60 for 1-1/2 seasons and it's the best reel I've owned in over 50 years in the salt.

If its going to get used in the surf and dunked, Penn 704z/706z is the reel.

Pay later option! Those options always get me in trouble 
Secretly I love those pay later deals, just to easy.
My favorite is the "buy now, no payments for 20years" |

King, although the 9500 is huge and bulky I have 4 6500's and love them I have never had a single problem with them. I also have some 704z's and they are great buy them now before they move out of the country

The taurus is a great boat reel (I own 2 of them), but they are not good surf reels.

Shimano Spheros 8000 gets my vote King. For the money, its the best reel around. I have fished a lot of spinning reels, and find it sturdy, dependable and it handles braid really well. It can also take a pretty good beating. If I have dunked them numerous times, I get home and just break it down and clean it up with hot soapy water and its as good as new.  |
