Other rods are certainly more ideal, but I can lift my coffee table so we shall see what it can do. I wanted to be able to fish from light to heavy jigs so short of a custom or more perfect, its what ill try for now and will be able to use for plenty of other applications.

Also had I had the option to try out different/more sizes I may have chosen a different setup, but I was working off gift card money lol.
Yes, like you said, the longer butt is a big plus too. If however you have to high stick after the hook set to keep the fish up, the longer fore grip the better.

Having said all this, Dustin caught his 21 pound blackfish on a St. Croix Mojo spinning rod with a short fore grip so we know it can be done
