Tsunami – Evict II Spinning Reels

Description

The Tsunami Evict II Spinning Reel series is built for anglers who want compact tackle with the kind of drivetrain strength normally associated with a much larger reel. A full-metal body and side plate create a rigid foundation for Tsunami’s digitally optimized S-Drive stainless steel main and pinion gears, helping keep the gears aligned and delivering the solid cranking power you want when a fish digs into current or tries to bury itself in structure. The reel is also built for real saltwater use: an IPX6-rated sealing system with 12 internal seals helps keep salt, spray and grit away from critical components, while the sealed CF3 carbon drag provides smooth, consistent pressure throughout the fight.

What makes the Evict II especially useful is that Tsunami offers both standard high-speed and dedicated low-gear versions in the smaller sizes. The faster 2500, 3000 and 4000 models are excellent for active Northeast techniques such as bucktailing, casting plugs, working metals and chasing striped bass or false albacore, while the 2500LG and 3000LG trade some line pickup for added mechanical advantage when jigging blackfish, working deeper fluke water or pulling fish away from structure. For 2026, the lineup expands into 5000 and 6000 sizes with substantially more capacity and drag for heavy inshore, surf and light-offshore work. A braid-ready spool with titanium-coated lip, 9+1 dual-sealed stainless bearings, sealed anti-reverse, sealed bail spring and one-piece machined aluminum handle complete a reel that feels refined but is designed to be worked hard. For Northeast anglers looking for a powerful, sealed spinning reel with unusually thoughtful gearing options and excellent performance for the price, the Evict II is a very compelling all-around saltwater platform.
