Spinning reel question

[Skolmann]

I had both the Ballistic 3000 and 4000 as well as the Stradic 4000 on the rod I plan on matching it with. The Ballistic 3000 balanced better with the rod than the 4000. The Stradic 4000 also balanced well-thus my dilemma in deciding between the 2. I already have a pair of Stradics and never had any major problems with them. I also have several Daiwa BG spinning reels that are still going strong that I bought in the late 80's.

Rod I'm going to match the reel with is a 7' GLoomis GL2 LR844S with MH action, rated for #10-20 line with a recommended lure weight of 3/8-2 1/4 ounces.

Plan to use for bucktailing fluke in the bay, channels and inshore, clamming bass in the back bay and tossing soft plastics & other assorted small baits for albies.
