I own that rod as well, I've got a 6500 Big Game on it, great setup! The 7000 might be a little big for that rod, I would bring the reel to the place you saw the rod and try it out for size, if it feels good to you then go for it, you want a setup that feels nice and balanced when you're casting it. The problem with surfcasting (all fishing really) is that there isn't any one setup that will work well everywhere. I found this out as well when I got into surfcasting, I wanted one rig that would do it all, doesn't exist. Thankfully, there are some nice, inexpensive rods available now and Abus are relatively inexpensive as well, so you can buy a few setups and not have to mortgage the farm. The setups you choose all really depend on what kind of water you're going to be fishing.
