Does anyone use the 7000 in paylakes and if so what kind of rod would be best. I think the reel with such a big handle if a little big for the em-cast 11ft. Need some feedback on this quick fixxing to puchuse one thursday should I go with a 7000 or a 6500 pro rocket.

I USED 2 7000 FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS JUST REPLACED THEM WITH 2 RECORDS. I LOVED THOSE 7000'S BUT I THINK THAT THEY ARE A LITTLE TO MUCH FOR PAYLAKE FISHING. SURE CAN'T MISS THAT CLICKER IT'S LOUD. DON'T GET ME WRONG THOUGH THEY ARE GREAT REELS IT'S YOUR CHOOSE.

you got that right geezer that clicker on that 7000 is what I love about it but if I get it do you think that 11ft emcast will balance well with it, thats a big handle on that sucker man.

I mean the handle on the reel, there so big it makes the rod try to turn in your hand maybe I could switch the handle out or just settle for a thicker rod. I love that sound cliccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!! Swoosh!!!

My two main reels I use are both 7000's. I think almost any ten foot rod and up should do well. I have had my 7000's on several different rods at ten foot and they performed wonderfully. It's all in one's preference I guess. Oh and yeah the clicker is nice and loud!

imo i think the 7000's are a little big for paylakes. it is big but the fish are two.. ;D i think a 6500 looks to small on a 10'or bigger rod... hill even the 7000 looks small on a 12' rod.. i could do salt water or any big water with a 7000.. only bad thing is they don't cast as ez as a 6500... i can only get 200'and with my 6500 i can cast 220'so it cast ok in my book......  .with a 2oz wt and float... well may be i don't cast that good..maybe you could do better. with eather one of these reels.but i think you would only be 10% shorter on a cast with a 7000.. is a 200' cast to long for a pay lake?? |

THE 7000ics says PRO ROCKET on the side.....$100 the 7000b with $10 ball bearings.............$85 so it is $15 for just 2 more feet cast and no back lash.... |
