I have 2 tfo 9' downrigger rods (branded TFO Downrigger)as back-ups but I sometimes pull them out to use when stacking and running 4 rods and they are great little rods, they are a combo of glass and carbon fiber
I love the way they crank right down in a nice arch, sensitive tip, nice action on them for sure, the downrigger rod is 9' and the mooching is a 10'6" I think they compare more like a convergence, I'd say give them a shot I dont think you'll be disapointed
