In my mind the Ultegra is a  :win: for scratching and other edibles... I would love to get one myself!

Don if you are going to fish with 4-6oz then stay with your 14000 that you are getting. My 5500 I only use with max a 3oz sinker.

Howzit
So has anyone actually fished with the poseidon extender? If so what are your impressions. Looking at the 2-4oz version to use with a daiwa exceler 5000 grinder.
