I have a 701TXH conventional. rated 2-8 0z. Good for all the inshore stuff you mention.
8 oz is a bit much in my opinion, but it will handle it.
Just mounted a used avet sxj on it. The combo is great. Me---not so good as a fisherman.
Also have a 701 MH spinning outfit, rated 1/2--2 oz w/ a Penn Battle.
Bought both of these Tsunamis within the last 4 years at the Hi-Mar show in February at the VFW in Middletown.
I'll be there again this winter I hope.
Great deals there if you can wait for your Christmas gift.
Tight lines,
Tom K.
