I have both the 6500 and 5500. The 6500 is big and clumsy to fish with in a kayak IMO. I use it to surf fish in Baja and main land Mexico. The 5500 has served me well on YT, DoDos, and tuna. I also use it as a lonner rod for friends when they go out with me. Bring your rod to the tackle shop you are going to buy your reel. Make sure the reel fits on the rod and is balanced. My thought is they are the best spinning reel for the money.
