I have been jerking myself around all winter trying to decide what will be my new go to reel. I have two plastic Shimano 4000s for schoolies that are fine. The Penn 6500ss has always felt heavy for a full day or night in the surf. Shimano 4500Baitrunner for the boat. And my goto has been an Okuma Epixor 50EFS, which I have really liked, but don't trust for the long haul. But I think I am going to get two more of them at that price as they keep rebuilding them for me when I send them in. I will still consider a Stradic though. Just have to come to grips with the weight differentials in the 6000 vs the 8000.

Still have to learn to cast the Abu 6501... will use on the kayak with a small shimano as well.
