Mudhole Vertical Jigging Blanks

Does anyone here have any experience with these blanks? My understanding is that they were designed and spec'ed in the US but manufactured in China.

Also, any opinions about the adequacy of this rod for the @100-150 lb bluefin we're expecting?

Model: CBVJ58150
Length:5'8"
1 piece
Line rating: 80-150 lb.
Jig weight: 600g (10-22 oz)
Action: Moderate

Also, does anyone have a better blank recommendation for these size fish?

Thanks!

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
