Don't worry, when the penn slammer snaps (usually about a foot from the tip) you will have a nice stout cod rod. I have 2 modified slammers. Go with the ugly stick, 20-50 or 30-60. Also if you are going to be fishing shallow, 30-60 ft I would get a much lighter set up. I like the penn 965 with an Ug stick 12-25. It handles 6-9 oz jigs just fine. Remember you are not casting these jigs in most situations.
