Dobyns DX 745 with a Lews Tournament Pro is as good as it gets and light as a feather.

I like the Shimano crucial 7 foot medium heavy worm and jig rod.

Anywhere from 7'-7'6" Hvy-fast action would be great for jigs. Length would just be a preference on what you like to fish with.

I prefer a high modulus graphite, glass is primarily used in cranking rods nowadays has a little to much give for a jig rod-IMO. Never tried a real carbon fiber blank though. Hope this helps.
