Anyone try using a spinning rod for cod/haddock jigging? I dont mind using my cod rod with a newell on in but it seems like a spinning rod would be fun. The only drawback i can see to spinning reels is letting line out to maintain the bottom, its a flick of a switch with a conventional reel. I party boat fish a couple times a year that is about it. Any suggestions on a rod for jiggin 10-16 oz jigs that wont break the bank, im thinking in the 7.5 to 8' range.
