M&D tackle can make the 1088 up for you if he is wrapping rods at this time..If he can do it for you, it will be a dynamite rod. I am usuing the exact setup - 6500 and the 1088. It makes an awsome combination. I can easily get down to light rubber and still be able to throw heavy stuff. I have found that the sweet spot is around 2 to 2 1/2 ounces.
Good choice.............
