If you plan to use little weight, or bobbers for jig fishing id suggest a spinning rod.
i have a loomis 1143 and it's a great all around rod for coho and steelhead... I hear loomis is coming out with a 1143 spinning rod in november, and i will buy this rod if/when it comes out just for jig fishing.....

If you dont want to go with a loomis you can pick up a rainshadow or an all-star 1143 for less money.

1143= great rod
