Rod Choice - FINAL decison!!

Firstly, Thanks to those who helped me out in my other thread.

I would really appreciate some advice in picking a jig rod that I intend to use on yellowfin tuna and Yellowtail Kingfish off the Australian East coast.
  • Most of my fishing will be done in open water and nothing deeper than 100m. I have done heaps of research on the forums and I have narrowed it down to a select bunch of rods. I was hoping you could help me pick a winner out of this group. Im fishing a Stella SW20000PG loaded with PE6/8 (2 spools). I like a rod that is stiff enough to work a jig well with plenty of power down low, but in saying that I hate fishing a broomstick that hurts the angler.

    Heres the rods I am looking at:
  • Ripple Fisher 5215 - spoke to Damon on Nomad and he fished RF jig rods exclusively nowadays. My no.1 pick.
  • Valley Hill EXP-53XS - The Deep Quaker II
  • Carpenter OH55XH-S - I've heard they are quite stiff and very powerful, but are painful on the angler
  • Smith Fremantle 54 - Discontinued I believe, heard mixed results from this rod.
  • Hots Wei World 52XH
