is that a better reel than a regular 7000i ? they both look really similar externally and internally. does the rocket name mean something about quality or it's just a name to sell more reel ?

are you referring to the abu garcia ambassadeur 7000 series? If so, there are a bunch of much better reels on the market today vs when that reel was first launched.

Shimano: tranx, calcuttas
Abu Garcia: toro S and toro beast
Daiwa lexas
Okuma Komodo's(?) - somebody will correct me here

What a super helpful post ??

I have a couple 7000s but not a cs rocket.  I'm pretty sure the only upgrades to the rocket model is spool bearings instead of bushings for better casting and a carbon drag.  And it's black instead of red and costs $30 more msrp.

don't worry tolle it's not for hard pulling lures,it's not even for musky. tswoboda at the end do you think durability could be better with the rocket? ive got a lots of troubles with 7000 when the the d10 have been released.but they still a favorite of mine just for their old school look.and who could pretend to love catfishing without at least one of them ? lol
