Shimano knucklebusters on 10.5" rods as well. This has been my set up for 30 years. It is the only system that keeps you in direct contact with the fish as you can reeel front and back with out stwitching a button giving you effectively two drags. It is the best system for barbless hook fishing. Once you figure out the advantage you will never lose a fish.
