Another idea is buy a used saltist high torque models. Replace the stock drag washers with greased smooth drag washers. The reels are 4.9-1 ratio.

If you want a higher ratio reel, grab a torium and again replace the drag washers.

Or, pick up a maxel reel. The original design has a clicker noise, the newer reel is a silent model. The original is on sale. Check out Yong at jigging world. The maxel is something around 5-1 ratio.

I own these 3 model reels I listed and all would work fine.
