If you're throwing straylining in the mix, unless you plan on holding the line constantly with the bail arm open, I'd go for the Thunnus.

The Saragosa is a sweet reel, but yeah I'd get the Thunnus if you do a lot of straylining, spin reels without the baitrunner function are a pain the proverbial when straylining.

I third the Thunnus as your best option as the baitrunner function makes strayling a breeze. Just go easy on the bail arm when stickbaiting or popping and keep the bail arm roller spinning.
