i have a calcutta 400 and a international 955 for stripers. i think the international has better drag, and the calcutta is smoother. another reel to look at is the penn torque 100. i use lamiglas tri-flex for for all saltwater

Another two are the CTE400 or CTE700. Pricey but beautifully made, I've run into alot of folks who love these reels to death. If the drag isn't to your liking, you can always upgrade to something like carbontex.

Don't overlook the Avet offerings.
