Squidders are a great reel to use on a meat stick. My old canal stick had one loaded with 40# Ande could toss those 2 lb. pogys out and just hold on! I even used to jig and plug with it but love my 7000 now. If you get a big combo use it for bait fishing it will wear you down plugging with it. The newer rods and reels are much lighter and can hold big fish, these are the ones for plugging and eeling. Most of the regulars at the Ditch have gone to braided lines, graphite rods and reels around the 6500 size, they weigh much less and can hold big fish.
