Tsunami Evict Spinning Reels Review

Great Tog Jig Reel

I have the 3000 size on a tsunami slim wave 7’ medium heavy rod spooled with 15lb power pro super slick v2. This is my dedicated tog jig set up. With the lower gear ratio, this reel has the power to pull tog right off the wreck. Would be a perfect a inshore reel too. The reel is not fully sealed so I would keep it to boat only and avoid surf fishing with it.

My Third Evict!!

This is my third Evict. I first purchased the 5000 series for my extra heavy 8 ft Tsunami Carbon Shield II and caught some good fish with it was smooth and the drag was fantastic. Then I purchased the 4000 series for my Tsunami Carbon Shield II 7'6" Medium Heavy and eventually got the 2000 series for my 7'6" medium action Carbon Shield II. I have no regrets many fish caught with… read more these reels Tutog, Stripe Bass,Porgy (Scup) and Bluefish...

5000

i have used this reel for everything from surf casting on a 10ft rod, to sending sp minnows on a 7ft, and using it to jig for cod on the boat.
i spool it with 50lb power pro super slick.it is very strong and smooth. and super light
it is slow on the retrieve but has a ton of torque so its a trade off

my only complaint is that the "dust cover" which is a plastic… read more piece threaded into the metal body of the reel opposite the handle, will strip out. then the handle will fall out and the whole reel is rendered useless by this tiny little part. major flaw for an otherwise very nice reel. comparable to a clash 2, but because of this the penn wins out by a bit

this is an easy fix, so i would love to see an evict 2.0

Great reeling power but

Ordered the 5000 size. QC led something to be desired. Reel Box was damaged (not the shipping box). Missing standard support hardware that usually should come with it. The line holder on spool is not there. Tackle Direct CS made it right and provided a discount to reflect the issue.

Took it fishing and it’s a tank. Heavy but smooth and plenty of pull power. The power… read more knob is nice feeling but will also freeze your fingers on a chilly night.

Perfect reel for heavy abuse

I outfitted my boat with evict 3000’s for charter clients . We fish inshore channels and mangroves mainly , the stainless steel gears make quick work of horsing big fish out of there hideouts . Very underrated reel, smooth, great sounding drag clicker, and the power knob feels just right. Highly recommend if your in that price range of sub 200$?

DO NOT BUY

MY BUDDY BOUGHT A 3000 AND A 5000 EVICT. 2ND TRIP OUT THE 3000 TOTALLY LOCKED UP AND THE 5000S BAIL SOMEHOW ALMOST BROKE OFF WHILE HE WAS FIGHTING A FISH. SPEND A LITTLE EXTRA MONEY AND GET A SARAGOSA OR SLAMMER 2

Nice reel for the money

I’m surprised this reel is still a bit under the radar. I have the 5000 model and though it is a bit on the heavy side, quality is no doubt a mainstay. I use mine on a 11 foot TFO surf rod for plugging and bottom fishing and it is a beauty. Cranking power, sealed bearings, a carbon fiber drag, and good looks. What more can you ask for in a reel!
