It helps the rod load up a bit better and gets more distance on your cast overall, it also helps you cast straighter if you have any problem in that area as well.
You'll be fine with a 7 footer as that is the standard in general depending on the model. I like to say that if you're serious about jig fishing then you could buy a custom wrap and spend some real loot but I would recommend buying something cheaper for the moment to insure that this is what you want to do. You can't go wrong with the Daiwa Spinmatic series for $40.00 as a starter rod to see if you're serious about jig fishing. We just got some new rods in the Longfin the other day that are great for jigging and kind of in the middle price wise as well at around $150.00. I forgot what they're called already but I will check it out for you if you're interested.
Good luck to you.
Thanks Vanillagurilla for the shout out.
IF you are interested in a Sage jigging stick PM me but they're not cheap by any means.
I have a couple of SR841-2 - IMX ... and about 8 other shorter UL type GLooms 2 bass types ... the 841's are the 7 footers. Intersting that you suggest I try them out ... What would I be looking for? Are there any large outlets that might be near me ... Reno is 45 minutes away.
