I have one that i mainly use to striper fish with. Love the reel, it's super smooth casting, but the one i have has the small line capacity and I have thrown all the line right off of it. Still, it is a nice reel.

the C ser.. have the bearings and the others( 5000,6000) have the bushing, the bearing are better but either one is a good reel.. you can get the bearings for the 5000,6000 and then they cast real good.. my step dad got some off of well the auction site and (bearings) and it made the 7000's (green ones) cast real nice and got a lot more diss. out of them as well..
