I mostly fish plugs with 9' Browning Gl6 rated 10 to 17. I have 17# Ande on it. Works great.

We have been playing with the 10-20 mooching rod with the knucklebuster on it lately. With 4 on the boat , the extra couple feet makes a big difference. I still have two fingers and a thumb left!

PS 5501's have the handle on the wrong side. They won't work. :p Everytime I pick one up I just stand there with the Rod in my hand trying to figure out what to do next. By then the Fish is gone
