I would look at the 2018 6' 10" Corto. It will do what you are wanting to do. As to line....SOS 2# test breaks between 3.75 and 4 pounds. The SOS 4# test breaks at 6-7 pounds. I would take a good look at the Varivas Twitch Master low stretch nylon....it's the real deal. You can get some 5# test that is only .165mm diameter. I guarantee you with that line, and that rod, you will get them turned and headed your way.
