Previously mentioned Smith AMJ S52EX, Smith WRC55 Nirai and the Carpenter OH56MH-S. Intended for deep water jigging of up to 500gms (although realistically only gonna be jigging 300 grammers...am not superman!), 100++ meters of water, for possible big 30-70kg class doggies, AJs, tunas etc. Need something light and robust, to match the Stella 20k, for whole day jigging.
The Carpenter is slightly longer and heavier although it does have a heavier ratings (up to 700gm jigs and rated to PE10). And just how does the 2 Smiths compare to each other? One supplier did say that the AMJ has a slight flex at the fore handle are under heavy load? How true is dat,..oh masters of Smiths? I do love the lightweight-ness of the Smiths!
I guess it boils down to this. Do i really need something as heavily rated as the Carpenter, when all i need is either the 2 Smiths, or any other rods like the Smiths for dat matter?

Mark,
Major orgasm when I finally got the Dog Stick. Seems way too precious to flog, but flog it I will. Thanx for the great job of customing the Synit. 8)
Sam.

Hi
If you want to jig the whole day with heavy jigs, you have to buy overhead jigging rod, it is easier to jig with heavy jigs, according to me.
you have nice rods : Black Hole Cape Cod which are sold bu my friend Kil Song, as i am beginner i don't know if it's allowed to put commercial links on this forum, but with google you may easily find this rod.
lighter than JM but more lifting power.
look is not very fancy such us JM but very good rods, and less expensive than big brands :) :)
