I'm after a mid priced jigging rod for a Penn Slammerlll (6500) Currently eyeballing Penn Ocean Assassin 571MH Okuma Tournament Concept spin Okuma metaloid spin jig CD Nano Fast Spin Looking at using 200-300g jigs and spending round $250. Any recommendations out there? Cheers |

All good options; they're all in that category of rods that feel quite a lot more expensive than they are - especially the Tournament Concept, that thing does not feel like a $155 rod. For what it's worth, I'd spend as much as you're comfortable with. Jigging is one of those annoying types of fishing where you kinda do get reasonable benefits from the fancy gear, in terms of ergonomics and just ease of jigging. Of the rods listed I'd probably be leaning towards the CD Nano Fast Jig, unsure whether the 200-300g or 250-400g would be better, more a matter of what balances with that reel... inclined to suspect the 250-400 would be a close match.

| Devil's advocate says drop the cash and get a Jig Star Ninja ML Spin... unfortunately they're on to the second generation now and kinda spendy; the previous iteration could be had for around $380 and were lots and lots of rod for the $. |

thanks for the recommendation Raz. The Ninja's have only gone up $20 in 7 years. $380 is a hellishly good price, obvious discounting going on as normal RRP is $510. I still have some of the recently old model Ninja Spin ML in metallic Silver available on special. PM me for details and a nearby retailer who could help you. ------------- give it death! |
