Tsunami Evict II Spinning Reel

IPX6 sealed. All-metal chassis. Built for inshore abuse.

The Tsunami Evict II is the sealed inshore spinning reel for anglers who fish hard and rinse rarely. IPX6 water-tight construction with 12 internal seals keeps salt, sand, and grit out of the bearings and gears. The all-metal chassis with aluminum side plate stays aligned under load, the sealed CF3 drag delivers smooth pressure when a big fish runs, and the titanium-lipped spool casts braid clean and far. Available in five sizes covering everything from light schoolie work to surf-and-jetty striper duty, with both high-gear and low-gear (LG) options.

Rigging & Use

• High-gear models (2500/3000/4000): fast presentations, picking up slack on stripers and blues blitzing bait
• Low-gear (LG) models: extra torque for jigging tog, sea bass, and bottom fishing where you need crank power over speed
• 2500: schoolie bass, fluke, light inshore — 10-15 lb braid
• 3000 / 3000LG: the everyday inshore reel — 20-30 lb braid — pair with 30 lb braid for tog and sea bass
• 4000: surfcasting, big stripers, jetty work — 20-30 lb braid

Why We Like It

The Evict II is the reel for anglers who don't have time to baby their gear. IPX6 sealing is the real deal — you can take the reel through a wave and the bearings keep spinning. The sealed CF3 drag is the other standout: it doesn't get sticky after a season of saltwater the way budget reels do. At under $200 you're getting build quality that competes with reels twice the price. Tsunami's making real noise in the spinning reel category, and the Evict II is why.
