Default Electric Reel Recommendation

Looking for recs for an electric reel for my dad. He fishes deep water (400+ ft) in Washington and Canada for halibut. Hitting 70 years old in August and doesn't have the strength or stamina anymore. He caught a low 30's fish on Saturday and lost feeling in his hand during the reel up. Any direction, greatly appreciated.

My older sister (she's 4'11" and has to lean into the wind to stay on her feet when it's blowing hard) lives in AK and uses a Daiwa Tanacom 750 for halibut. She's been very happy with it. She's pulled up 200+ lb fish with it.

Give me a call. I have just what you are looking for at half the price
Diawa Tanacom Bull 750. This is an 800 dollar reel. Reel is 8 out of 10 cosmetically and 10 out of 10 mechanically as it was recently serviced
Loaded with braid and ready to fish. Reel and all cables included
Bring it is for your Dad I will let it go for 400 bucks. Going to have a yard sale in a few weeks and will be asking 500 for it. If interested give me a call
