Newell 338 3.6:1 is my go-to bottom fishing reel for cod, tog, sea bass, grouper, red snapper, and triggerfish that are deep.

6'6 rod is way too short. might as well use some old exhaust pipes with a reel mounted on it. You really want 7'6 or 8'0 for some sweet sea saw action and some whip for casting. BTW, i know your fishing from a boat and not the shore. Try casting from the boat. Greatly improves your hookups.

When cod fishing, why would you ever need to cast? My 6'6" rods work great for ground fishing and they stow easy in the cuddy.

When jiggin, you want to under hand cast to cover ground!
Also, longer rods = better action when jiggin |

Wierd, when we go ground fishing as soon as the jigs hit the bottom we are hooked up in under a minute, usually less.
