I am looking for a jigging rig to use in 30-60 feet of water in the gulf. I'm gunna be targeting snapper and grouper but I will need the ability to handle kingfish. I had a penn number 9 that I used for light jigging but it broke down and instead of fixing it up right now, I would like to find a reel with good castability and a pretty good line retreive ratio.
Also I would like opinions on what rod length and weight i should get.
Fish till your arms fall off; then crank the reel with your mouth.

Call mike at hendrix rods and he can help you with the rod selection/make one for you. Tell him Russell Hartzell sent you. He does not advertise salt water rods but I am sure he can help you
