What is the Smith AMJ 52EX rated to?
PE4-8, Jig weight to 400 grams (struggles a bit above 350 though IMHO)

Afraid I'm another Smiths fan Brett.
Here's the rod in action
And here's the doggy that bent it like that!
Must admit I use 250gm jigs whenever I can and I have never gone over 300gms - so can't comment on the 400gm rating.

Nice one Colin. Doggies are the best sport fish in the world for me (although that is probably sacrilege in this forum

That is one serious fish !! kingies and sambos are fun but I gotta do some northern fishing soon it is driving me nuts
The smith is looking like the front runner at around $500 to my door step - this exchange rate rocks
