I wouldn't take one of these to the salt, and I doubt that's where you're taking it, since you don't play the fish on the reel. That's my 2 cents, anyway. I have a Lamson on my 7/8 wt and I've landed 30 pound dorado with it. Drag worked flawlessly.

I'd like 150 yds on the spool w/ 7wt line. I fish right handed, retrieve w/ the left I'd like spare spool capability. I spend more on the rod than on the reel, my reels are typically fairly basic can take a beating. This is an opportunity for me to upgrade w/out her spending too much. Plus, I don't need her to know how much stuff actually costs, so if she spends $250 +/- $50, she'll know why I value the equipment w/out knowing how much I actually spend.
