I found that reel on Amazon for 50$. It's an off brand but works well. Edit.. it's a maxcatch avid.
I am raising the tip. So you are saying I should try and use the lower end of the rod to set the hook? Along with the strip set?

you should feel the hit with your stripping hand
Best you can bury the hook with the stripping hand. If you are at the back end of a strip raise the whole rod parallel to the water you you can get a little better set with the stripping hand. Then with the rod high and parallel to the water clear the line.

If your rod has enough backbone, failing to stripset shouldn't cost you slot redfish. If you want to learn, concentrate on keeping the rod tip in the water when you're stripping. When the fish eats, take your time, grab the line, and pull. It'll become natural after a while.
Unrelated, but I'm selling a purple/blue size III Allen Omega with 300yds of blue gelspun and Rio GT line if anyone is interested. $400.
