Rated 4 out of 5Â by teekay1902 So glad I didn't listen!!!
Some of my saltwater fishing buddies told me that I would not be satisfied using a baitcast reel. I did my online research about baitcast reels and found the Abu Garcia 7000C3i through Bass Pro Shop.With a little practice in my yard and some tutorial videos found on Youtube, I had the hang of it! This past weekend I fished the Indian River Inlet, Delaware. The Abu Garcia gave me the distance that I didn't have before. There were a few birds nests, but this is to be expected. I'm really glad I trusted my instincts and purchased this reel. DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE BAITCASTER!!!!!!!!

I have put this reel through quite a bit since having it. It can handle anything under 200pds except tuna( not sure it won't blow up) I've caught 5 foot sharks, no problem. Still going strong. Have 80 pd spiderwire topshotted(is that a word??) with 50 pd backwater country by Ande. Love it! The clicker sticks sometimes but just engage the hanlde and it snaps in place.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by DTro My Favorite Catfish Reel
I fish for big nasty mean Flathead Catifsh all summer long and the 7000 is my favorite reel bar none. From the dependable drag to quality components, I know that when trophy bites I'll be ready for it.
Keep this reel clean and it will last a lifetime.

China! If this was made in sweden it would be a $500+ Reel. But when checking the real out I noticed it feels the same as any reel made in America or Japan, as the Shimano's!

This reel is made in China.Answers

I've used 300 yards of 50lb braided on mine since I bought it 2 years ago. Works fine!A:Â
I currently have mine loaded with 30lbs braid and I have about 550yards on it. I didnt wanna max out the reel as Ive noticed on other conventional baitcasters the fuller the spool the better chance of backlash!A:Â
yes. I use 65lb power pro. the reel holds 300 yards of that with about 25 yards of 12lb monofilament backer
A:Â
The braided line test weight is 30 lbs. at 630 yds.

A:Â
yes of course I would try 60lb Power Pro
A:Â
Braid capacity is 30lb/630yds.Details:Â
I noticed there is a knob on the left and right side plates. Are they both brake adjustment knobs? How do they work together?Answers
A:Â
I noticed they are for spool tension, however the one of the left side of the reel is more of the centrifugal control. and the handle side if more of a lubrication point.Details:Â
I was a bit concerned about if reel could cast lighter lures like a bucktail or small twitchbait. I would be using it for musky.Answers
A:Â
Remember the heavier the line he heavier the lure needed to cast it,however, if using a light bait you can compensate by spooling your reel with braid, its casts better then mono with the larger diameter. However with this reel id stick to 1 oz. to 3 oz. as with mono it takes a considerable effort to move the line off the spool.

This real will not be suited for lighter baits try the Revo Toro 50 series I am sure you would like itA:Â
i USED A 1OZ BUCKTAIL ALL WEEKEND AND DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. I'M SURE THAT YOU COULD GO LIGHTER.A:Â
According to your line. I cast 1 oz rigs and they flyDetails:Â
I want to purchase this reel for muskie fishing, but I thought the gear ratio might be a little slow, espesially for lures like cowgirls, since I'm used to fishing with a 6.4 to 1 gear ratio.Answers
A:Â
Think of the lower gear ratio as more of a "winch" design it gives more torque for fighting larger fish. The slower the retrieve the less strain on your line of choice. I know when bass fishing a 6.4:1 - 7.1:1 is the ratio of choice because they are as hefty!
Top 500 Contributor
A:Â
Yes I think it is.If you want a bit faster like in the five's try the Revo Toro Winch or just the regular Toro 50 series but it would cost more money for the two
A:Â
Just use it for slow moving topwaters. It will handle muskies.
