sure you can use the rod for lighter jigs. it is just that the jig s won't react the same way they would with a lighter rod. i always jig fish with a 500 or 600 gram jig rod and use 200 to 300 gram jigs and do just fine. i think that jigging with a 200 gram jig rod and using a 400 gram jig will wear you out a lot quicker than the other way around....rick

anyone else try the 600 gram rod? pictures?
This is a picture of a 27# dead lift using a OTI 600 gram blank cut down to
5'2".

Funny, I'm looking for a casting rod for the same reel!
Tj told me there would be a 7.5'/80# conv. 2-pc coming this summer.
I think this would be an Ideal combo for bombs or pitching surface iron
to wahoo, tuna, etc., especially big boats w/ higher decks.
I was gonna go w/ a GFG-700h, but I think I'll wait
It's amzing what an extra 6" can do!

I'm looking for a jigging rod for a Accurate 665 NN reel that I should be getting very soon. I spoke with TJ (Minnow) last night prior to the trip this morning and he said that OTI is coming up with a nice 50-80 lb rod, (I think), that will be a great rod for bigger fish. He actually had a prototype with him....and I believe that I will go with that rod. McGolfer may know the rod that I am talking about and might be able to elaborate a bit. I want something that will help me pull up those big AJ that are headed down for the rigs after you hook up.

That is a good idea, especially for travellers by airplane. I hope they make conventional rods with spiral wrap.

Kil- I just had Paul wrap my first spiral and look forward to trying it out!
I wonder though how big the market is for a 7 1/2 spiral wrapped production rod???
When Japanese guys build their short jigging rods with spiral wrap, there should be good market for them.
When they fight big fish with regular rods and acid wrapped rod side by side,
I don't think anyone wants to use regular rods.

Ksong,
Is there a spiral wrap jigging rod that you would recommend for an Accurate 665 NN? I like the idea!
the OTI are nice blanks for a shorter rod. for a longer jigging rod i have worked with GUSA and designed a 7 foot WAHOO JR ..It has been a BIG hit in the 7' range..these are Graphite..so they are light, but we remind people these are graphite rods..no high sticking...i belive kil still uses the 8'WAHOO. which is one reasoen i went ahead designing the 7' size ..they are a very nice blank
