Default RE: Reel differences??

I guess I should clarify--I mostly fish for Pompano, Sheepshead, Redfish, and Spanish mackerel at the pier, and I use a 2500 size reel. To be fair, no one reel is going to cover everything, and it really is an impossible compromise because of the range of sizes of fish you may encounter. Two reels are definitely better than one. I should have assumed that the manual bail question referred to targeting larger species, but I just put two and two together. I would certainly agree with the above poster about the reel size for Kings and cobia--I used a Penn 7500ss before they tore our pier down.
