Casting Reels

I am looking at starting to expand my surf fishing equipment cache.

I notice that most people seem to start with small reels and start to buy bigger ones after they get spooled by a freight train or two. I figure that I might as well skip the first step and skip the frustration.

What I am curious about is what are the biggest reels you can cast effectively. I do not have a kayak so I will be casting all baits.

555gs

I swear by 555gs's and OM's or Tica rods. I also have a couple of Tsunami rods ($60) that show up at academy sometimes and have never had a problem with them. The GS is great for high speed and line capacity. Also a graphite reel which tends to hold up better in the saltwater.
