I use a Shimano Baitrunner 4500 B Spinning Reel on a 7 ft. rod to throw surface iron. It will never birds nest, and casts almost as far anything else.
-Its just plain easy.

The real advantage comes when a boil pops up and you only get 1 shot to fire it off. Point and shoot accurate, and No Birds Nest.

ditto.......and to make up for the baitrunners smaller spool, I use 50lb spectra.....you can get an extra 100 ft. of line over the larger diameter mono.

Note: A 7' spinning rod with a spectra mono combo is the personal preference of a select few people who prefer simplicity to capability.
