I use an abu 7000 in the ditch, pair with a 10' custom. From the boat I use an abu 6500 on an 8' musky rod which handles 2-2.5 oz plugs fine but wouldn't go any higher. Both are lefty crank, which was a big reason for choosing an abu, but both have been going strong for 5 years or so.

Thanks for the insight 5/0. Ive had this reel sitting around for a while and want to put it to use this year. I just dont get to use it often as 70% of the time im going swimming. But this is the year I will team it up with a rod and use it.
