For 3 oz plugs you can use the 7000 ambassedeur. I prefer the 6500 model, specifically the pro rocket in either black or chrome. The 6500 and 7000 Big Game is also good. I use 25 pound mono , Berkley Big game clear or Ande back country. I never tried braid on a casting reel in the surf. Also, the Shimano Calcutta 400 is probably the best surf reel. A very good fisherman, Bill Nolan, who fished nothing but conv. when he surf fished, tried them all and said the Calcutta was THE best. He only used 20 pound test, Ande back country, with a very long , 2 wraps around the reel, of 50 pound mono for a shocker. He was the best conv. casters I ever seen with that outfit. He mostly fished regular sized live eels but could also cast artificals . I think he used a 9 ft medium action rod.
