Quick take
A size 7000 Penn conventional reel with stainless steel bearings and 4.3:1 gear ratio for long-distance saltwater casting.
The PENN Rival Longcast 7000 LC is a large-capacity reel built for surf, rock and beach casting. It pairs a 4.3:1 gear ratio and a front drag with 4+1 stainless steel shielded bearings, and its spool holds about 550 m of 0.33 mm line. Anglers who throw bait from the shore will find the size 7000 frame and T-bar handle a comfortable fit for long casting sessions.
