There are other variables you have to think of. Structure? You got rocks in the area? How crowded is is? Will ya have room to walk down the beach with your fish and recover line, or will you have to work your way down a crowded beach? How close to the shingle will you be hooking that cow? You'll have probably 225-250 yards of line to work with. Hooking it 30 yards off the beach is one thing, hooking it at 80 yards is another.

I'd be more comfortable with a 6500 using 17# line, but you can get the job done with the 5500 with the above "if's" in mind.
