A long time back when the tuna football craze was just starting, I bought a Shimano travala spinning rod which as supposed to be the balls for jigging small tuna. Well I never lucked into any of the action, even though I had a couple shots, but this rod is the balls for tog and jigging BSB or stripers. It's a TVS70ML, rated for 20-50# braid and jigs 55-135g, medium light with fast action. It has the power to move a tog, but you experience the fight unlike some of the heavy gear I know many use.
