Before I talk about a rod....

If you are going to do wire line, I can't comment with any authority other than to say its probably not an ideal wire line reel.

Trolling double Mojos, I use a Shimano tld15(30#)with 30# braid and a tld25(50#) with40# mono.

The "20" in SQL20LWLC means its a "20#" sized reel.
imo, thats a little lite for trolling mojos that can weigh 2 pounds but you can go with the lighter sizes.

I'm assuming you are loading it with 30# braid. it'll hold 650 yds.
Personally i would not go up to 50# on a 20# reel as you might have trouble breaking off bottom snaggs

As for rods, to troll a double Mojo, you should look for a graphite 6'6" Medium/Heavy 20-40#

so you look for model numbers like 66MH Line:20-40

My TLD25 is on an Ande 7' Heavy action.

I always have to stand in the aisle and play with them for a while. I look for heavy duty Fuji guides.
You should be able to find a decent rod to match that reel for $70 to $140
Brands that I have liked are Shimano, Tsunami(bargain priced), StarRods, Ande


PS. With the line counter that will make a good jigging outfit too. You can get to the right depth every time.
