I would definatly stay with at least a 9 to 10 foot pole. Mike T. is the man to talk to for a custom stick. Some guys I know that jig and plug alot swear by Fireline. The drawbacks though are if you get stuck DON"T pull back against the reel! If you do the line will dig in under the line on the spool creating the biggest backlash or it is an overrun Mike P? that you will see on the next cast. These birdnests are impossible to untangle. If stuck wrap line around an old plug and walk back till it parts don't try it around your hand this line can cut!
