I use a 9 and a 10 foot setup with that reel for 99% of my shore fishing. That reel is a work horse with an unmatched drag in terms of smoothness for reels of that size. Plus Shimano's customer service is second to none. I will caution you that Calcuttas are not sand friendly due to the tight tolerances when they are machined. I love my 4 calcuttas and wouldnt use any other.
