sounds like the rod is made for lures around 200gms and is quite long is the made for a overhead/or spin reel, not sure if a trini 16 would up to it trying to stop a king on the charge after taking top water lure.maybe try and move the trini and get a spin reel could be a option
keeping it reel

Any one had a play with the Okuma salina II?. Good price point.
  
  I would still go the saltist for top water spin action in around $500
