I have narrowed my choices down to these two reels for my 'surf work'...what are you thoughts? Thanks in advance, Joe.

Don't know the Slosh 20, but fished the 525 on a 10.5' fast-action custom graphite Lami last year and the thing casts a freakin' mile. Use it mostly to cast heavier plugs beyond a long break when spinning gear won't get there. Cracked a side plate though, so it's in for warranty (hopefully) repair. Wanted the Abu 7200 or 7500CT non-level-wind but couldn't find one.

Can't go wrong with either.

One thing--the old Slosh doesn't have instant anti-reverse and the dog springs are known to be failure prone.
