Casting - Abu 5500/6500 mag
Fishing - Penn 525 Mag/Supermag followed by the 7HT's and Abu's
The 525 is pretty much bombproof as a fishing reel ( very strong construction ), followed by the 7HT and bringing up the rear in terms of construction is the Abu 6500's. The one thing that lets the 7HT down is it's small handle which can be a pain when reeling in weed or a decent fish ( though a power handle from an Abu or the improved handle from the 7HT Turbo can be fitted ).
For anyone wishing to make the move from fixed-spool to multiplier I would always recommend the original 7HT - they are the most forgiving reel out there and are available at very sensible prices.
