The two designs work in profoundly different ways

Once you are ready to toss lures the 7000C3 does cast quite well, and can achieve a good distance with even light jigs and poppers

Fine-tuning your setup is a breeze with the Zero Adjuster, which provides precise control over spool tension, accommodating various lure weights and fishing conditions effortlessly
