I got a 8 foot heavy mojo musky with a toro winch on her. Can I throw regular dogs on this for a few weeks until I can afford a better dawg setup?

In fact as long as you're using 65# braid or better, you probably don't need a new rod. The reel is certainly up to the task.

Then again we ALWAYS NEED new stuff.

The reel has a pretty slow retrieve for rubber. You'll just have to reel a little faster when retrieving.

Location: sneaking out to get on the water ;-)		Yeah as mentioned it will throw dawgs all day long and handle mags as well. Instead of a new rod buy a set of faster gears to put in the winch . I like the 6.4:1 high speed gears to pick up the slack between pulls. Could use the 5.4:1 gears also.
