Re: 5000
I have been doing a bit of browsing for feeder kit lately. The Preston Cintris 520 seems to keep popping up with some consistently good reviews.

Ive have a Z4500 Saltiga and a Certate 4000HD, both are superb well engineered reels that will last a lifetime. Both reels have monocoque bodies, manual bail arms, anti-reverse/no backwind and faultless drag systems.
The Saltiga is one of the original models and has landed thousands of sea fish many weighing way above any of the pike Ive caught with it.
The Certate is a recent JDM* import which is for spinning in fresh and sea.
*Made in Japan for the Japanese Domestic Market, the highest quality available.
Hope this helps.

Re: 5000
A mate has two certates he's been using for sea fishing from shore for bass, pollock wrasse etc.
Said they haven't missed a beat in 3 years and he doesn't even wash them down after use
