You need to play around for a little while until you get use to setting reel so as to not blow it up.There is a shop down south Hatteras Jack who has reels you can buy already set up or by the stuff to trick out your own.
Gonna find his website right now. I have 6 or 7 ABUs.

Paul, Ryan will set you up. He can mag and tune just about any conventional out there. You may want to talk to him about the Akios 666SCMW, for the money you are getting a reel out of the box that has everything! Line it up and fish!!

Might as well have him send a Century Spod to go with the reel...
