Thank you NIB, that's exactly what I was looking for. I too prefer a spinning outfit. Since I wrap my finger, it doesn't matter the weight.

When I start to retrieve, I reel my ass off and I know I'm pulling line in as quick as possible. But I think you hit it on the head with "if you jerk it the jig will fly forward and plop." In trying to reel so quickly, I haven't been paying attention to the rod tip.

Next time I head out, I'll pay some more attention to what the rod tip is doing.

I know some guys are using huge sticks out there, but what's the general consensus for the rods length and strength? Am on the right track using a 10' MH now and then building a 10'6" MH this winter?
