I currently own a seeker 8 foot jig rod, and have a torium 20 on it. I have been throwing irons on this, but want to upgrade the rod. I plan on getting a Calstar 90j to put the torium on and use 40 pound, and buying a Daiwa Sealine-X to put on the seeker for live bait purposes with 25 pound line. Does this sound good to you guys?

forget the 90j unless you're fishing 50+ yellows at alijos, even then an Ulua would be better.

I got the calcutta 930FA, it's perfect for the local 1-2day jobs.

for me the 90j's just a monster of a stick and really isn't necessary for our waters. If you like sore arms then go for it.

Also shimano makes the Teramar jigstick which is very sweet, and they're cheap.

how long are they? I'd prefer a 9 foot rod.

they're 9

The 90J is a sweet stick and IMHO the ULUA is even more of a monster, both are awesome. All you ideas sound good to me, Sealine is a sick bait reel, but why go to 40 pound on the jig stick? Just overkill unless you're fishing for big yellows or around a shallow reef or something. Jig swims alot better on 25 or 30.

well, I've always felt mor comfortable with 40. Thats what I use now, and it works well. I also often fish yellows in the kelp, and the 40 helps horse em in.

You might try the either the Shimano Calcutta or Teramar 90H, both are 9 feet. I have the Teramar and it is a surface iron rocket launcher. I like it as it feels like my calico rods do, only beefier for jigs i.e. lightweight compared to glass, loads up the same, etc. I'm using a Torium 20 with 30# on it.

CLC-90H is sick- I like the 40 lb. for tossing the iron, regardless

:D

I agree 40# all the way :)
