Good point.... I mean I do all my surf fishing with spinning reels on 10' and 11' rods, but had wanted to try the chunking thing this summer. Isn't the abu 7000 series the same spool size though as the 7500? I still may get something smaller.... I am really open to all opinions. This is definately something new for me.
