30,000 ? wow

I belive you said that to StarsnStripers. i never really asked about that reel until now, but thanks for your reply as well...

I like how the Abu Looks/Feels but i have a feeling i will be picking backlashes out all the time,, when i see fish i cast like crazy (not smart, fast cast=backlash) i think i will start off with the 704z (or 706z) not sure, I am not targeting schoolies, this year i am going after the big guys- night time w/ eels- pluggs ETC.. Hope to at least get a 20# this year


but this place has helped me with choices so much, maybe i will get that long lost 50 lb striper



I read a review on a website that said the 704 & 706 are both ideal for surf but the 706z holds 300 yrds. of 20# mono. and even has built in drains in the reel..

The 706 is 30 bucks more, i have about 100 to spend on a reel ((i wanna buy some tackle as well)) would i be better off with the Penn 704z or the 706z ?? Any comments appreciated
