It really depends on the actual lure that you're jigging.

As since I may just want to jig a straight spoon like for example: Epinger Daredevle spoon, Swedish Pimple, Krocodile Spoon.  A lot of is more like a lift and drop to let the spoon wobble or flutter on the fall.  The other part is just shaking the rod tip or tapping the rod tip to impart motion on the spoon. 

Before St. Croix stop prodution on their Premiere ice rods and switch to the Mojo ice rods, those rods basically were selling for about $15-20 a piece.  The one thing about St. Croix rods is often their medium power rods are a bit more like a medium heavy power.  Since I'm a bait casting type of guy, I actually like to use the baitcasting rods version.  However a spinning rod version will work just fine as well.  There is an advantage to using a longer rod length say like around 36" over those of like about 28" length.

Some more background info would be helpful.  What species are you targeting? (based on your name, pike?) what size/weight of jigging spoon do you use? Jig? 

I have jigs and spoons in everything from panfish size to lake trout sized ones. Use a different rod weight for each size.
