Penn Spinfisher over the clash and Stradic imo. I do love the saltist as well.

A Saltist is hard to beat. I'd gladly take any three you can't go wrong!

It's up to your own personal preference. All three are highly admired so it boils down to what you like best. Just Sayin...RJS

I really like my Penn reels. Like others, I agree you can’t go wrong with any of your choices. You don’t say what you target fish is but a 3000 or 4000 May be in your wheelhouse.

I have 4 stradics - two each of the Ci4 and the FJ. Great reels. Can't speak for the other two you mentioned. Shimano sells the FL now, mine are a bit older but still as nice as when they came out of the box. They went from FJ to FL? What about the FK?

Maybe that's why they left it out.

I prefer the penn reels. I have 3 spinfishers 2 4500’s 1 6500 on my surf rod. Dunk them drop them in the sand whatever they take a licken’ and keep on tick in’. Fully sealed . Parts are readily available if you ever need them. Never heard of one breaking.Smooooth drag. Best bang for your buck . It’s not a Van Staal but it’s not $600. either.Heard a lot of good things about the tsunami salt x reels too ,but compare prices...
