I use Trinidad 40N reels with my WGJ 50H reels. In the past I have used Accurate Boss reels as well as Shimano Torsa reels with that rod but have been most happy with the Trini 40N's with the Carbontex and Cal's drag plate upgrades. I load the reels with 65# braid as I have had problems getting 80# line to fall into the intended target zone (there is considerable current where I usually fish). The 65# is thin enough so as to not be too overly affected by current yet still strong enough that I can apply some decent drag.
The rods do indeed have a slotted gimbal.
I don't have an AMJ in front of me at the moment so I can't measure the grip length. I only compared the AMJ and WGJ for one day and never actually ended up buying an AMJ so you'll have to get the grip length info from someone else
