I fish a 10 1/2 foot rod for Jig and bobber fishing.
Heck I', looking into building something closer to 12-13.
I prefer a spinning reel for most of bobber fishing.
I normally don't add weight,and using a fixed bobber trying to cast a riggin thats hanging 9-10 ' is real tough with a bait caster.

"steel" I'm glad you liked the jigs,wait till the fish see um wink....Os
