My boat has six jigging rod aboard. Two 6 1/2' jigging rods, two 6 1/2' Jiggers with slick butts, and two 5 1/2' jiggers, all equipped with Penn 4/0 Special Senators. Every one wants the short rod because jigging, done right, is hard work. I can jig all night and have caught many 30# fish with no trouble on these short rods. Slick butts are popular in New Jersy where big spoons are used and rods are left in the rod holders. Shimano, Okuma, and Daiwa all make very good trolling reels as long as the spool is strong.
