What 4000 sized real should i get.

Short form:

Pls reccomend reel 4000 size for pike, rod test 15-56. Also where me buy reel. BUDGET 100-200 max 250 if worth it.

Ty for all advice

Long ahh form, if u want to read:

I have some old 10+ year old daiwa 15-56 gramm rod and I like it, it does its job. But i dont really have reel that fits it, i have some random old abu garcia, that is prolly not meant for pike fishing and it started just randomly stopping, like i need to put pressure to reel it. So i think good time to get new reel, i think 4000 sized is good for this test, correct me if im wrong. Im fishing on all weights from small crankbait twitching 10-15g, jerkbaits 30-40g and also big 50g shad ( using all out of my rod lol). My budget is 100-200e can get up to like 250 if its really worth it, but if it doesnt make big difference idk do i need it. Thinking about Daiwa or Shimano. Also could take reccomendations where to buy, because the price is jumping a lot from site to site like even 30e. I live in Europe.

Thanks for all the advice beforehand!

UPDATE:

im thinking rn about shimano stradic fm 4000M HG, but i heard that if u will be throwing weight higher than 40g it will get cooked, is it true or will i be cooked? cuz i kinda doesnt want to go over 4000 for sure. A lot of people are saying 35-40 is max for it, others r saying it will last u years even if u go over that.

Best treble hooks to replace on jerkbaits?

I thought i will never need to, but after catching today 101cm abt 7kg pike and breaking one treble hook on brand new 2 times casted Daiwa prorex lazy jerk 120ss i have to ig.

So im asking whats the best treble hooks to buy for those kinds of jerkbaits, i dont want to buy some slop that will break too, breaking the hook is the last thing i want to worry abt when fighting big pike.

Im pretty sure i need N2 size treble hooks for this size baits like Daiwa one i mentioned and Westin swim 10cm. But im not sure, so can take advices on this thing too!

Thanks already beforehand for all answers!
