I have a few Trinidad's , gold and silver . Personally I like the 16 . Seems like a better fit in hand . Loaded with spectra , you should have more than enough line. The new Trinidad's have a couple more bearings so it is amazingly smooth , and can cast like a bullet. Also the anti pawl is upgraded . The other reel you spoke of I have not used , probably a good reel for shark fishing in the 30 size . Lever drags definitely have there place in arsenal . I would recommend the talica or torsa , both if which are a small fortune and we'll worth it . Good luck .
