I bust my favourite wee Jigstar 350 rod on a king last week (being stoopid - don't ask!).  I had a Torium 20 spooled with 50lb braid on it now looking for a new home...... needing a new mid-range rod around the $300 mark.

But how well will the UL handle the bigger (300+) jigs like the jigstar 350 could ?

the UL will fish any weight jigs, where we fish there is huge current at times, so we commonly fish 300 jigs or even more to keep the lines vertical on our drifts,   trust me the OD UL are awesome bang for buck, awesome rods and we get a lot of hook ups on them.

I have two jigging rods and use them a lot.

My original one is a 350 and my later one is a jigstar 250.

All I want to say is that the 250 with a nice little reel (avet) has become my go to rod on a daily basis and catches most of my kings.

The only time I pull the 350 is up around reinga when I find some big fish.

I pretty much use 300grm all the time and the 250 works them well as you would expect.

I will say though that when it's time for big jigs and big fish the 350 with the accurate is a powerful, powerful set up.

If i had to choose one it would be the 250 hands down.
