Thinking ahout using mine as a surf reel, can't see why not.... any ideas which rod this might match up with well? Was thinking saltiga sensor surf but they are more designed for the sensor surf reel which I think is much lighter than my Z4500.... any one else use this reel for surf fishing? What do you have it matched up with?Targetting mullies and big teeth, need to throw big grapnels and big baits
