All the rods I suggested above,  are over $600
 
IMO You have brought a quality reel , you would be better to wait and save till you have enough $$$  for a quality rod to match it with.

Have you look at the jig star range.....price is below $600....the 350 g will be a good match I reckon.....

Jig star would be the go, tried and tested and very affordable.

I agree SJ I sold a Jigstar 350 to a fishing mate the other day and he bolted his trini 40n to it and even I had to agree the reel suited the rod well.
That reel is almost the same as your OJ4000
The Smiths AMJ52h may be a tad light for the OJ and this rod better suits a Diawa z40 size reel.

Jig Star 350 sounds exactly what you need for under $500.  These rods are the best bang for bucks around.
give it death!

Steven.. there are lots of option on your price range..
Jigwrex 400
Offshore 400 Jig rods

Personally, I will wait for somebody to sell a used JM PS 350 or Terminator 400.   Check out the Offshore rods..

 I put the Jigstar up there with the best. I prefer the jigstar 350 to the JM400 feels a hell of allot like a terminator TBH. mines been used and abused and no problems. nice bit of kit and well affordable.
