Best casting conventional reel for 100lb test braid

Larry:
I have wrote to you before about conventional bait casting reels for ease of casting. This is my application, I’m look for a conventional bait casting reel for 100lb test braided line for a surf rod. I know this is a heavy application, but I have run into some big sharks from shore and my 450yd of 50lb braid on a Penn 950ss wasn’t even close to holding them.
In your experience, can you please tell me some reels I should be looking at for this 100lb test application (for casting). Also, I will look at anyone’s recommendations that are tried, true and valid. This is very important to me, from a very dedicated fan!

Hi R
I'd look at Trinidads or Torsa reels. Good luck!
