After spending a lot of last weekend Using a mates Jigstar 120g, it kinda converted me on super light setups. Especially for the local 10-15 kilo range fish. Although I love the 400g setups it becomes a long day jigging them all day. Just looking around at light jigging options and seeing what others out there are using. I have a jigstar 250g which I am going to sell to fund this new rod, looking for something in the 100-150g range. So far the rods I have spotted which look nice are the JM Sabre Game 150g, the fin nor marquesa 165g and the Jm ocean devil light. I would love a new jigstar or synit but out of my price range. Probably going to see what I can find in a good used condition. 

Anyone out there can shed some light on this, let me know what they are using and good/bad points of the rods they are using?

If you liked the JS120g, then that's the rod. Price is a friendly $360 or better

do it once, do it right. MIB shows the wayWink lighter jig gear has its place and so does the heavier stuff.

Hey Leigh

is this the rod you use out at Hunters/Kapiti?

And what max jigs are you using on it?

surely (much) heavier than 60g.
