i have a 10' 6' lami too 6 to 10# baitcaster its perfect for jig fishing but it takes a high end baitcaster to cast light waits and you still get backlashes. but if you like to extend your drift its worth it. i also have a spining rod that i use alot, its alot easier to use and i like the sound it makes when fighting a hot steelie but it will also atract a crowd. a good jig rod is usauly to light to handle big salmon but it can be done. do not try to jig fish with that 10 to 20 it won't cast the light weight jigs as well. i am looking real hard at center pins but cant aford them yet. tight lines
