I do a lot of canal fishing and plug throwing off the beaches. I use a Abu GArcia 7000c3 with 30 pound super braid. Its on a 10' Tica rated 2-8 oz. IT throws 2 ounce and up plugs really well, and is good for bucktails. IVe been using it for eels a lot this year, i would like it to be a bit softer at the top but it works. For under 200 bucks with a spool of line its tough to beat. I have only used my spinning rods a couple times this year, it pretty much covers all the bases for me, the only drawback is throwing lighter stuff (1-1/2 oz and under) not much distance and backlashes can be a problem.If i could do it over again i woulda dropped a couple more bucks and got the 7000 Big game, i saw it for a dollar more the week after i got my reel, ya cant win...
