Best casting conventional reel for 100lb test braid

I am asking this question because I am trying to switch from a spinning reel to conventional reel to get better control of larger fish from shore. This is my application, I’m looking for a conventional bait casting reel for 100lb test braided line for a 12ft surf rod. I know this is a heavy application, but I have run into some big sharks from shore and my 450yd of 50lb Spectra braid on a Penn 950ss wasn’t even close to holding them.
I am looking for a reel that will hold 500yds of 100lb test braid, but more importantly, the reel has to be good for casting distance with a sufficient amount weight.   I will look at anyone’s recommendations that are tried, true and valid. This is important to me, from a dedicated fisherman.

You can get one rated for 80# but 100#?

The van staal only hold 675 yards of 50 on braid....But the fin nor ofs 95 will hold 600 yards of 100 test braid.

As to the 12 ft rod, well it will work if you use the right technique. Learn how to slide a bait down and you can get many more yards to your cast. Just throw out the weight then slide the bait down, i got some sliders from hawaii and they work great.(http://www.tokunagastore.com/Menu/UluaFishingGear.htm) If you topshot your braid with a very stretchy mono and when you hook your shark point the rod right at it, you get rid of the negatives of a long rod. The leverage only works against you if it forms a triangle with you, the tip and the fish.You are fighting on the stretch of the mono and the power of the drag of your reel. Never try this with just braid, you will lose. But Flat lining as we called it is how we could get out to the bronze whalers, great whites(when they were still legal), Zambezis(bull?), skates etc etc that we used to catch with 14ft poles. The comments above about a  warn winch was exactly right, with a long rod the only way to get your shark in is to flat line it, turning your reel and line into a winch.
