Thanks for everybody's feedback.

I realized that what I felt was lacking was a heavier pole for jigging.

Being cheap and prone to buy old used but solid stuff, and given what eveyone said in praise of Calstar, My research turned up info that pre-Penn Sabre/California Tackle rods were made by Leon Todd before he founded Calstar.

So I just bought used a 50lb class Sabre GS6550 rod with a Daiwa 350H reel at a local pawn shop for $80. Might be a bit too stiff, but I'll give it a try.
