Be careful of how you interpret the 7:1 ratio.  Remember the casting reel has a spool diameter of about 20mm, and a spinning reel spool is more like 25-30mm, therefore a casting reel with a &:1 ratio will most probably have a retrieve rate similar to a 5.5:1 spinning reel.

Re: surface lure, well it might be ok for spnott and small lampuki, but an 8 - 10kg Leccia will rip that reel right off the rod.  I hooked a big one last summer, and it cooked the drag on my Stradic 5000.

That sucks clutch!! although i can imagine a Serra Hoxna of 8-10kg would cook your drag,even though the stradic's drag is very good! What happened mate,did it bust off?
