I would look for an abu 7000, not the 7000i that came out a few years ago. They are easy to use, durable and relatively inexpensive. I upgrade the drags to smootie washers. There are tons of tweaks that can be made to them but most are not necessary. When you practice i would go with a sinker or a tin that does not catch the wind. Adjust the freespool so it just creeps down. It should take you long at all. Make sure the reel is a levelwind.

Everything is better on the rocks.
