TREVALLA, $150, AND IT HAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY. I HAVE A 5'8 EXTRA HEAVY AND LIKE IT A LOT, GREAT FOR JIGGIN BUT WORKS WELL W/UP TO 12OZ SINKER TOO. NO YOU DO NOT WANT A ROLLER TIP FOR JIGGING, YOU WANT A ROD W/PARABOLIC FLEX/BEND AND LIGHTWEIGHT FOR WORKING THE JIG. OR IF YOU HAVE A BIG BUDGET GO W/A SMITH $400, NO WARRANTY. ON THE OTHER END YOU CAN GET BAREFOOT FROM J AND H TACKLE FOR $70 ($50 + SHIPPING). THEY ARE TOUGH RODS, I LIKE MINE. LIKE THE SHORTER RODS (INDER 6'), WHEN JIGGING THE LINE WANTS TO WRAP AROUND THE TIP OF LONGER RODS. PENNS JIGGING RODS HAVE A BAD REP FOR EXPLODING AND ONLY HAVE A 2 YR WARRANTY. THIS IS ALL MY PERSONAL OPINIONS. _________________ Anchor slave

Load it up w/braid and you feel everything. i dont jig all the time, i love dropping a live bliner or pin down there and feel him getting nervous right before whammo! riley does make some cool rods too. _________________ Anchor slave
