In FL, don't folks deep jig grouper with spinners? This is actually what Stellas were originally designed for in Japan.
Using lighter tackle than you are talking about. I'd get a spinner designed for braided line, and use a much lighter jig.
BTW, a 9500 has an International (16S?) drag washer under the spool. Yes, it adds more drag, but the rest of the reel is not built any tougher than any other Penn SS, so guess what will happen.....
