I've got a red faced 7000 on a 60 class rod that I use for near shore black sea bass, grouper, and snapper off the east coast. I have mine spooled with 65 pound power pro, and it's a hauss. Very nice reel, and very strong. It will do anything you could want it to do in fresh water. Since the 7000 is a larger reel, you obviously wouldn't be casting light lures with it. But, when used with the proper weight rig, it casts very nicely.
