I did quite a bit of butterflyin' last year..... bass/blues and bluefins too. its a very enjoyable technique to use. I now own 4 trevala rods- 2 paired up with Axet SX's for bass/blues (the MEDIUM series trevala) and 2 paired to LX (the XXH version of the same rod). the line ratings are a little deceiving- the XXH says it'll handle 80-200lb braid(?!).... I used it with 65lb Stealth.
as far as jigs go, PM me if you wanna some much less expensive altermatives.... I also started rigging the assist hooks with flexible wire with great success. its easier/simpler/more durable than the whole splicing thing..........
