OK. Well after my search for an Abu 7500CT and getting my hands on one, I have began to have mixed feelings about using this reel out in the surf because a few people have told of what a collectible reel it is. So, I was wondering if I should go for one of the newer Abu made reels like the Abu 7000 C3 CT, buy a Abu 7500 C3 and convert it to a CT, or just use this black beauty. I want to pair it up with a 10'6" to 11' rod. Was hoping that some of you guys would have some suggestions for that. I want to go custom on a Lamiglas or Rainshadow, but have also been looking at the new Saltiga Surf rod in 11'3" casting model. Any thoughts or ideas? I would mainly be using this rig as a chunking rig.

thanks,

mike
