Yep , if it has to be a Lami , the XRA126 1 MH is the one. The Allstar 1209 is great for 4 to 6 and is as fast action as any rod you can imagine. They have been discontinued the factory rods but the blank is still available so a custom can be built.

I just built myself a rod on a Century Tip Tornado cut to 10'10 inches. The blank comes in at 11 feet 8 inches. I cut it to fit in my blazer assembled (its a two piece rod with a Gearbox butt section so you can cut it however you like from the butt end without changing the action ) and its awesome for casting. It will easily handle your 6 OZ jigs. The action is also very fast although its not a pool cue like the Allstar 1209. I was casting to the center span of the railroad bridge with it and I didn't even have good footing to really crank it.
