They cast great. The reels are heavier than the regular 7000s. Not sure by how much. But I do recall being able to tell the difference after a night of casting.

I have a big game 7000cl and it casts well but I am not that great with conventional but my mag elite casts much better, but that is not really a fair comparison.

7000CL is at an unfair advantage -v- a Mag Elite 6500 (never saw bigger than 6500 size) but a 6500CL is 98% the caster of the Mag Elite.. At least tha of my rundown Mag E's

'Course right now my main 6500 has the Big Game drive side on one side of the spool and the magged greenie on the other

The 7000CL Casts great for a 7000 and is solid with the brass plates. How does it compare to a CS Rocket? No clue...

The big game also sports a 5.3-1 retrieve vs the 4.1-1 found on non big games.

Big Game

I just picked up one for the Canal, I think the speed will really help out. I have not cast it yet so I cant give any reviews but it seems sturdy.

I have a brand new 9000 bg and I dont know if I want to keep it or sell it. I also have a abu 6500 that I can use for medium use. I could save it for the boat but I plan/will to do more fishing in the surf this year.

thats why they call it fishing not catching
