I could be wrong but I've never seen you fish with a G-Loomis rod. What model do own?

GLoomis Pro Blue 20-40 would be a good choice for that reel, but it is pricey. For Gonzaga, you are going to want to fish a heavier rod, or risk losing some serious tackle and trophy fish. Match it to a rod that can handle the 27#s of drag it is capable of.
