I use plenty of Abu's, 6500's and 7000's. The latter are good for heavier stuff. But what Eben said about the 6500 chrome rocket, or any Abu 6500 rocket for that matter. I have a few and will swear by them. For a rod, pick it! Tica, Tsunamu, and what I like but is discontinued, id the Daiwa Sealine X surfrod. Light and strong this baby is.
Also, the Lamiglass Surfking, conventionals are good as well. There are many. Seek and you shall find, my friend.
BTW, I don't like the magged Abu's, IMO, with an Abu, you don't need the mags.
