Take a chance and get one. You will like it. I myself have 2 of the 9ft grizzly jig elite fly/jig poles. I use the WM solo reels, but the reel you got would work perfect on them. I like them best, because most of my life I used a fly rod as a jig pole. The solo reels I only use in 8 ft or less water. But you could go deeper with the Eagle. I have tried them, 2 of my friends have them. Merry Christmas.
