I'm hoping to try some jigging next year. Hopefully will get into it and go a bunch. The preferred rod for this seems to have been the AS 1209 and more recently the SC Mojo has gained popularity.

I have an unusually stout Arra1205. I have another of the same blank but for whatever reason this one seems much heavier. Probably produced at 2 different times.

Can i expect this rod to meet my jigging needs? Really don't want to buy another stick. I've thrown some heavy plugs to 5 oz. with it without any problem but up to what ounce jig can I expect to throw/work with a 1205? Anyone use the 1205 for this application?
