>>936459ah.. bottom bouncing. so how you do that from shore with 1#bridgeports? have you played with the trevala line of rods? they arent custom but they are a good starting point for jigging light or heavy opposed to cu$tom wrapped. All the 'custom' rods Ive made and own Ive been able to bend prior. either at fittings with the wrapper or in home prior to wrap. its pretty easy to have your body specs (*not crappie related) like seat height and fore grip length to figure power band and drag pressures incurred most of the better wrappers will do this for you.
reels..for shore casting? or shore jigging? or jigging jigging? lol.. you fishin conventional of spin? If spin I would look into jig and pop instead of solely verticals. then you only need the one rod and reel for both actions. if you break it down and only buy the deep jigger then just make the retrieve rate around 30"- 40" that doesnt mean the reels ratio but line retrieval rate. big difference and its usually listed for jigging specific models.
in all, you might be better suited for short "standup" rods rather than "jigging blanks"
especially if youre solely bouncing diamond jigs which require no real jigging method.
