You don't get heavy duty jigging rods cheap what reel you putting on ? best value would be a trevella XH but it depends on you application .

I will mostly use the rod for bottom fishing! Spheros or saragosa 10 000 ! I have been looking at the poseidon offshore jigging rod

Are you fishing bait as opposed to jigs ?
For bait you can use any tuna spin type rod like a shimano beastmaster 6'6 15kg class will be fine if you want to jig then a dedicated jigging type blank is best look at a trevella XH. What species you targeting ?

Mostly cob and geelbek (bait) and when i get the opportunity yellowtail! Got beaten badly by the tail during the holidays due to cheap equipment, thats why I am looking for a rod that I can use for both tipes of fishing
 
I use a cheapo elbe titan jig, the heavier one, for that application and it works lekker for me..Think it is 40-60lb, the rod isn't with me at the moment. Chopped the butt a bit shorter and rigged for the multiplier and got it bloodied the first outing in the new configuration with a 9kg fish and very happy. Mates use the beastmaster 5'6" or 6' Jigging MH for the same application, the older one, not sure about the new yellow one.

If you find where you get those rods (elbe titan jig) let me know, I wouldn't mind a backup and haven't seen them again since I got mine on an impulse buy. Very decent cheapy, fuji guides, good backbone/nice blank..

Thanks to everyone who replied. I got myself a gosa 10 000 and the my local store has a trevala m/h 6,6" 2piece for R1000 and a poseidon offshore 6" 200-400g for R850 and I can get a secondhand trevala xxh 5,8" for R1000 which one would you guys recommend for bottom fishing and the occasional yellowtail? Thank a lot!

Sorry, yesterday got a little shorter than most days... Here they are, both rods in pretty much unfished and showroom condition. Fuji components throughout. Reason for selling is that I simply have too many rods. If you need reference from another Sealiner concerning tackle that he's bought from me, PM me and I'm sure he won't mind sharing his experience in doing biz with me.

Each rod individually R900, or both together R1600. Postage for your account.
