i cast everything w/ my abu. here we go : plugs mostly, everything from poppers to swimmers, Lots and lots of plastics, i also do alot of chunk clamming, chunks in general. eels, bunker, herring, everything.
i have two rods for my 6500, a heavy but short 7ft fenwick that handles 1-4oz, origionally a musky rod that cost me $120 a few years ago, came with liftime guarantee and i have already replaced it once. and my 7 ft schoolie rod that cost 20 dollars and is one of my favorites after i fixed it up is a copperhead rod
3/4- 1 3/4. i have no problem casting the 7ftrs. sure i could probally get better distance and have longer leaders with a longer rod but i dont have the money and i am 100% satisfied with what i have now.
go with an abu 6500. youll be happy. a 6500 goes for $65 today, right?

live to fish. fish to live. rod tips high.
