EEEEeee, The Abu CD-6 can't take 1 dunking in the surf. After 1 fish I got it washed with salt water and sand. After that it was a little tough to crank after rinsing the sand off. I used it for a while anyway and when I got home , broke it down. I have 2 anyway(got 2 for $99 last spring)

I just got the Nautil 6500 this morning from Mike, seems like a good reel for fireline or 50lb whiplash. but at over $130 it's a lot more than your price range.

Maybe you should go with the Penn.
