I spent the first 20 years of my fishing career using a 6.5 ft spinning rod and a mitchell 300 sized reel (actually an Orvis 100ss which had a line roller) with 8 lb test line as my primary saltwater outfit. With good line it will handle bass to 30 lbs and bluefish to 15 lbs pretty easily. I'd think that with braid and higher quality drags a little shaimano would be fine. You will need to use your finger on the spool for extra drag.
