Hi Kurt, alternatively check out the RF568...it's still my favorite jig rod after 3 years. It will work 200-350 g jig easily...Cheers, Bwanna

You may also want to check out the RF 5610  - a little longer than the 5210 and I find that it works the jigs better in the weight range you are looking at.  The specs say it will fish PE8 and i have no reason to doubt that.  I have mine matched to a 10000 stella spooled with pe 6 varivas 10 x 10 max. It is a beautiful stick and one of my "go to" setups.

I also have the 5215 and it too is a terrific rod, but as others have said, a bit on the high side for the weights you want to jig

Cheers

Andrew

Kurt Wilson:
Thanks Andrew
What would be the max drag you think the 5610 could handle?

Andrew Johnson:
Good question Kurt!

I usually fish it with 10-12kg of drag, although i reckon it could push more if fished sensibly (ie no "high sticking")!!

Cheers

Andrew
