Bro Rapala,
I would go for Daiwa FreamJ 4500
There's more set back to Shimano nowadays except for the Stella only. Even baitcast reels, more people prefer daiwa than shimano...
FreamJ4500
- light
- can do multiple type of fishing, popping, jigging and bottom
- size 4500 can fill in 300m of PE3.5 lines(40lb)
- good drag
Navi
- heavy
- can do multiple type too, depending on the gear ratio..either fast or slow ratio
- size 4000/5000 not able to fill in 300m of PE3.5, size 8000 most likely to fill in 300m, but then the weight becomes more heavy
- not-too-bad drags
Both the reel, the drag is upgradeable..

so dont worry about that..
My el-cheapo Daiwa CY 4000 can fit in 300m of 40lb Tuff Line XP, light weight, drag is at 6 or 8kg(i dont remember) but upgraded to 12kg liao...
