Hi All,Trying to balance the jigging rods and looking for opinions from the community here.First up, an ultra-light set up:Ugly Stick 26" rated 2-6 lb test, reel is a Tica 800 loaded with 4lb mono - I forget exactly what it is but it's probably Trilene XT. This is intended for the lightest fare - panfish & some stocked trouts if the want to play.I may add a swivel to know where the leader stops but for now it's all direct connections. Next up, a Medium/Heavy stick intended for larger - lakers, large mouth, pike, etc.:Ugly Stick 30" rated 6-10 lb test, reel is currently a Shimano Sienna 2500FD - Reel specs can be found here:http://shimano.fishing-store.us/shimano-sienna-sn2500fd-spinning-reel.htmlIt's got a 7 lb max drag so it will either be snapped off at the swivel or an epic lading.I plan to use 10lb Power Pro and add a swivel, then a leader of some sort. Is this a good choice for what ever biggun I might target here in New England?I considered a Shimano AX1000FB but that only has 4.5lb max drag and a single ball bearing - it was a $2 upgrade I thought prudent.Comment as you see fit and thanks.
