6500's a lot of reel for a 7' S-glass rod. In Penns, the 4500 and 5500 SS reels fit well if you like to play anti-reverse roulette, or the 460 Slammer.
4000 size Shimanos (Spheros, Stradic etc) are also a good fit. I use a 4000 Sustain on my 7' schoolie rod.
Daiwa SS 1600 is a solid, dependable reel that now runs under 100 clams
