Why don't you go for a penn surfblaster 8000 it has a good retrieve and holds plenty of line plus you get get a spare braid spool
 
Her nothing but bad reviews about em and year it a fresh water reel but afta ech yous a run under clean cold water as a yous a carp reel ATM copes with sea and mix ground no problem
 
I`ve got the Wychwood Equinox big pit reel which i got last year, basicly
its a carp reel, but as you say Scotty a good rinse in fresh water after
use and the jobs a gooden, had no probs at all.

I've got a sb 8000 and find it a very good reel, not sure what your asking if you've got a big pit reel and you say your happy with it but you'l find it will last longer if you rinse it under slightly warm water as cold water doesn't break down the salt then give it a spray over with silicone spray its more expensive than wd40 as its not corrosive to your line, might help you if its not a salt water reel
