i am currently using a 700b
and a 700 TE.
i do like the 700b.. a bit heavy...for some people. alot of guys think they weight too much to cast all day..but i use 'em...i dont think they weight too much.
Good, strong cranking power.. you can easily power twitch 10" jakes ALL DAY w/ them.. or big spinners...
good trolling reels..they can crank in the big baits while the boat is still moving.
my 700's have lasted ALOT longer than my 4 abu 7000's...
they are smooth..you can cast them really far too.

i wish they where lighter in weight..but outside that..i use my EVERYTIME i go musky fishing i use both the TE and B...700's rock man.
