Another thing............
Check out The Ultimate Guide to Surf Casting by Ron Arra. And if you can find it, Long Distance Casting by John Holden.

Also look at Tips and tricks at Hatteras Outfitters website. I don't know how to cut-and-paste, but the site can be found a few threads below this one, 7000CT--if this makes any sense at all.

Two great casting reels are 6500CS Mag-Elite and the 6500C3 CT Elite. One has a level wind one doesn't. These smaller reel are easier to handle than the bigger ones, great to learn on. 7000 class reels are good too.

The reel that you buy should be good to go. Forget about ceramic bearings for now. I'd go with the abu over the penn.
