I understand what T-man is tryin to say.He likes to lay the line on by hand because the level wind does not overlay the braid well.in other words on the retrieve he moves his guide thumb back an forth much faster creating a wide crisscross pattern that helps to keep the line from diggin way into the spool when tryin to free a stuck jig. If I was gonna trow lures in excess of 1 oz I would use my 7000/7500 BG ABU's wit the level wind smaller lures get the trophy 6500 or a BG 6500.I also have a few 7700 morums that I will punish when in need of a stronger reel.there not as good casting but the one piece frame is a tourqe monster also no longer made.I use any thing from 50- 80 lb braids or 25-50 lb mono depends on what an where's.
