Seth, the Heartland is perfect for the 6" mission fish, and it will work for the 7". I think the Okuma is too much for the 6" but its fine for the 7". Ask Chris to try out this Hearland, I know youll like it. Plus its cheap. Tom used to sell them at Pro-sports, I bet he still does.

Check out this chubby one I got a few days ago on the 7" using the Okuma
