ABU 6500 help...

What's happenin' everybody?

As my fishing skills and beliefs has truly been altered this season thanks to you folks here at striped-bass.com, I've changed from a pure boat fisher (Don't get me wrong - I still like going out on the boat.) to someone that prefers the surf. There's just something about wading out from land for big stripers that appeals to my competitive side. It's a game much more centered around knowledge and technique. I've now hit the point where I'd really like to master the eel at night. However, my luck has been modest at best with the slimy creatures, and I suspect it has something to do with using a spinning set-up to sling them. The conventional reel seems much more suited to the task, and the physics of it just make more sense to me. Therefore, I think I'm looking to pick one up...

I've basically settled on the Abu 6500, but I have no idea which model to get. I know I want the level wind. Beyond that...I'm just clueless. Any help would be appreciated as I'm looking to pick a used one off of ebay soon.
