Jeremy -
Do not get the Penn International 975 or the similar reels ... they cast well, but I don't like them for working plugs. I grew up using a Daiwa Presidential PS55 or something like that, got it in high school, used it for more than 20 years and it worked great, although it's handle was smaller than I liked ... for some reason i did not go the Calcutta route ... which is a better reel. Mike at M&Ds can help outfit any old Abu you may have like the 7000 narrow spool, don't remember the exact model number, but he does a lot of those reels and people who use them love em.
If you want to spend time casting, let me know, I am happy to help you out. Can loan you a reel or two if you like as well and we can use a variety of reels so you can get the hang of it.
