Im having some problem on choosing a proper rod for jigging.

My specs:
Reel: Stella 20000pg
Line: PE6-8
Jig weight: Up to 500g
Budget: Less den $700

My problem: To custom build a rod or to buy a ready made rod. Should i choose a Calstar 760L or 760M blank to build my jigging rod or Carpenter OH56MH-S or any other recommendation?

i am wondering which action is better (in term of working the jig n fighting the fish) Tip action or slow action?

Go talk with the guys at AO (Benji/Alvin) and they'll probably point you in the right direction.

Get the xtreme longbow 8 or 10. Bloody light blanks. go to urban anglers to have a feel. Retailing at $700+++
