If you get a bigger stick for bait and such, try looking for a CT reel. The gem to look for is the 7500CT, however if you can't find that and your buddy pick up a rocket and have it converted over to non-level wind for a little added distance. Have seen a recent come back of the 6500CL Big Game and the Blue yonder reels, both which have a nice retrieve speed ----> 5.3:1. Good luck with your search, I am no Abu specialist but hope my limited knowledge was of help. Also, for plugging on the loomis, the 6500 C3 or the 7000 C3I is a great reel in my opinion.
