The 6500 is way to small small for that sort of stuff. You need the 7000 series or if you can find one a 9000 series which are two speed with a gearbox would be interesting. No idea on the latest stuff though it's all foreign now.

Now were do you think you are going to find 30lb rays

Quick thought, a Policansky have a good reputation and would do the job as a boat reel. I have the 4b knocking around somewhere. There is one on e bay at the moment. Mine is right handed but I use left handed turning clockwise and the line going on the bottom of the spool rather than the more normal top of the spool.
