2 strong reels

hi, I am new here and fish from Spain!.
I have to renew the equipment (stradic and ultegra xsa) and I look for a medium reel with 50lb braid and big one(400$ budget):
1º 22 to 25oz/700grams (only low ratio): spheros10k?
2º 30-33oz/850-950grs for 65-80lb braid: old saragosa18k, lethal100,bg6500, spheros20k or cabo120. Here sometimes to great wahoo and 150lb YFT)
What would you choose?, thanks!

Hi Canary! It appears from the reels listed you are looking for spinning only, not level wind. For the larger reel my opinion is to seek all metal (no plastic) with stainless and brass/bronze parts. Yes, the weight is much greater but casting fatigue comes from an unbalanced combination of reel, rod and lure. For trolling or live bait that's no issue. The Saragosa, Spheros and Cabo all fit your requirements. The Cabo price is well inside your budget (and I'm prejudiced, I like it!) :-)

thanks Westfork!yess spinning only)
I can use them for kayak or to fish from the coast/throw a buoy…and I have never used an talica, curado, etc: ...a left handle conventional for wahoo/big tuna could be squall60(plastic),fathom or avet.
But there's a problem!hahaa: cabo is good option in USA, but I've discovered that in Europe they are expensive: Cabo80 250e(300$), and also the big lethal100=160e/190$!!(same price BG6500)
-1º: 25oz medium size for jigging with 50lb braid: spheros10000 140e/170$, saragosa10k 210e/250$ or cabo80 300$
-2º: big for bait (trolling of kayak/coast etc)and 65lb braid: New sw saragosa and spheros are similar. Both have plastic side plate and rotor, but they are good.
33oz spheros20k 180e/215$ and gosa20k 250e/300$. Biggest gosa25k and cabo120 280e/335$....lighter 30oz:lethal100 or bg6500 fast ratio(48” retrieve) and both 190$.
And other option for big reel is spinfisher8500 31oz and 140$ or old gosa18000F only 28,4oz 230$
