Re: Up grade jiggin rods
If you were to buy a St Croix Avid 7' in a Med/heavy action with a fast tip (AVS70MHF) you wont be disappointed. You probably will never want to throw another rod. They and a little more expensive then the price range you listed but the extra $50.00 will be worth it to gain the sensitivity of the rod. Pair it up with a good reel and some Seaguar Invisx flourocarbon and you will feel the slightest of bites and have enough power in the rod to get a good hook set. I personally use 12 to 15 pound test on my jig rods but its always seaguar invisx unless I'm throwing braid.. Just my two cents worth..

Re: Up grade jiggin rods
I'd try hard to talking you into a 7' rod. There's a lot more available options and I believe the longer length with cast farther but also pick up more line on hookset. Dobyns has a LOT of available models that will fit you.
Also, we take calls at our shop many times a day helping with advice on what model will suit you. We'll ask lots of questions to get info to make the right call on the right rod.
