I agree with Redlite that you should use either the 6000 or the 8000 depending on which one balances better on the rod you choose. A friend of mine uses one on a 9'6" Lami Triflex and the 6000 balanced better on that rod than the 8000 did. I don't understand how the 6000 weighs more because it appeared to be smaller than the 8000. The 8000 did not feel right on that rod.
What size plugs are you going to be throwing? What are the conditions like where you fish? Rocks, big surf, sandy beach - these matter when deciding what size rod you want.
