You do not have to spend $300 for a Calstar. Check out the Calstar Black West Coast Southern California series. The Longfin, located in Orange, sells them for $149.

I use a California Rod from Turners, works good with my Saltist and they always go on sale.

John will hook you up. I'd stick with a 7', maybe a 670 or a 700M. That type of rod has plenty of backbone for the heavy jigs but can also be used for live bait.
