Abu Garcia 7000C3 and CL

I use both the 7000C3 and CL models, and I have nothing but good things to say for this class of reel. The C3 has a 4.1:1 and the CL has 5.3:1 so the CL is definitely the better choice for plugging applications in the canal (or wherever) when you need that extra retrieve speed to work the plug properly.

I've not notice any difficulty with the CL being a bit heavier and having less "power" than the C3. Smoothy drag washers are always a nice addition. But spending another $30 on ceramic bearings to really get out into the middle of the canal where the fish are busting may also be worth the investment. Just a tiny drop of "rocket fuel" oil and you're in business.
