Tsunami Evict II Spinning Reel

The Tsunami Evict II Spinning Reel combines full-metal construction, stainless steel gearing, and IPX6-rated saltwater protection in a powerful inshore spinning reel.

Built for anglers targeting snook, redfish, jack crevalle, spotted seatrout, and other hard-fighting coastal species, the Evict II delivers the strength and durability needed for fishing docks, mangroves, bridges, and open shorelines.

With 12 internal seals, S-Drive stainless steel gearing, and a sealed CF3 carbon drag system, the Evict II offers serious saltwater capability without the price of a flagship spinning reel.

IPX6 Sealing – Protection Against Saltwater & Spray

The Evict II features an IPX6-rated sealed system with 12 internal seals designed to help prevent saltwater, spray, and grit from entering critical components.

The reel also includes a sealed anti-reverse system and sealed bail spring.

For anglers regularly fishing saltwater environments, this protection is a meaningful advantage over spinning reels with less extensive sealing.

IPX6 protection does not mean the reel is intended for prolonged submersion. Proper rinsing and maintenance remain important.

Full-Metal Body & Stainless Steel Gearing

The Evict II features an aluminum body and side plate that provide a rigid foundation for its drivetrain.

Inside, Tsunami's digitally optimized S-Drive stainless steel main and pinion gears are designed for strength, smooth operation, and durability.

This combination helps maintain gear alignment when fighting powerful fish or retrieving lures under load.

For snook fishing around structure or targeting hard-running jacks, that rigidity becomes particularly valuable.

Sealed CF3 Carbon Drag System

The Evict II uses Tsunami's sealed CF3 carbon drag system, engineered to deliver smooth, consistent pressure throughout the fight.

A dependable drag is essential when targeting fish that make sudden runs, particularly snook, redfish, and jack crevalle.

The sealed design also helps protect the drag components from saltwater exposure.

Braid-Ready Spool & Premium Components

The Evict II includes several features designed for demanding saltwater fishing:

• Titanium spool lip for a durable, corrosion-resistant line-contact surface

• 9+1 dual-sealed stainless steel bearings for smooth operation

• One-piece machined aluminum handle with an oversized power knob

• Sealed anti-reverse and bail spring for additional saltwater protection

• Braid-ready spool for modern braided fishing line

These features make the Evict II a strong choice for anglers who frequently cast artificial lures or fish live bait in coastal environments.

Which Tsunami Evict II Size Should You Choose?

Braid suggestions are starting points, not manufacturer-required line classes. Match line strength to your rod, fishing conditions, and target species.

Evict II 2500 – Light Inshore Fishing

The 2500 is an excellent choice for anglers who primarily cast smaller soft plastics, shrimp imitations, and lighter artificial lures.

It pairs well with medium-light and medium spinning rods for redfish and spotted seatrout.

Evict II 3000 – Best All-Around Inshore Choice

For many Florida Gulf Coast anglers, the Evict II 3000 is the most versatile option.

It offers a practical balance of line capacity, power, and casting performance for snook, redfish, and general inshore fishing.

Pair it with a medium or medium-heavy spinning rod, depending on the technique.

Evict II 4000 – More Capacity for Structure Fishing

The 4000 provides additional line capacity for anglers fishing larger snook, stronger current, and more demanding structure.

It is worth considering for docks, bridges, larger artificial lures, and heavier inshore applications.

The 4000 is not automatically better for lighter artificial-lure fishing. Choose the smaller models when they provide sufficient capacity and better overall rod balance.

High-Speed & Low-Gear Options

The Evict II series includes high-speed and low-gear configurations.

High-speed models are useful for quickly recovering slack line, working artificial lures, and keeping up with moving fish.

Low-gear models offer a different retrieve characteristic for controlled presentations and applications where winding leverage is a priority.

Premier Tackle currently lists the 2500, 3000, and 4000 sizes. Choose from the configurations available on this product page.

Evict II vs. Tsunami SaltX II

The Evict II is designed to provide substantial saltwater protection and a rigid metal drivetrain at a more accessible price.

The Tsunami SaltX II offers a higher IPX8 sealing rating and a platform designed for more demanding saltwater exposure, including surf and jetty applications.

For anglers fishing from boats, docks, and shorelines, the Evict II provides an excellent balance of performance and value.

For frequent heavy surf exposure, the SaltX II deserves consideration.
