Got 2 6500oc but boat fishing. Not up on shore fishing. Suggest to head to your loacal fish gear supplier.. Smart Marine or Hunting and Fishing and have a chat with the guys there.

I have a couple of 6500B'S, don't be afraid to spool yours with braid! I have two 6500B's and a Thunnus spooled with braid to match my rods, they work very well! Very good casting distance. However, from your question ""mainly fish from rocks wharf n beach""" Which will you be doing, because you may need a different line weight for whichever rod you are using, for the rod that you choose, specific to "rocks", "'wharf"" or "beach"' ------------- http://www.legasea.co.nz" rel="nofollow">  It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing, by people who can't fish. |

Have a look at daiwa sensor sandstorm 10ft6 6-12 kg, a bit expensive tho, or cheaper daiwa Laguna x braiding 12ft. Put 8kg lostretch and your away. The sensor sandstorm is really light weight,you can hold it strayline style all day. Even 10ft ugly stick would do it . |
