I impulse bought a Daiwa BALLISTIC LT and need help picking a rod to pair it with. Want a spinning rod for jigging for fluke and blackfish. I saw the Jigging world Ghost hunter but not sure about the slow pitch for fluke.

what are other good options?

If you r looking for a lighter rod for jigging fluke i recommend the Sloopster Dark Matter rod. Got one last season and it is bad ass. Another one i have is the Jigging World Shogun rod. I fluke and tog jig with it. Bad ass rod. I am going to try the Dark Matter rod on tog this season but my friend who has had one for a while does it with no issues. Both rods badass. My dad has his BALLISTIC paired with a Jigging World Black Widow and he loves it.

I use the shogun on my baitcasting and it is a badass rod. Want to try something different. Want to try the black hole challenger 701l but it is pricey

Check out the new Jigging world Nexus. Been hearing good things about it

Buddy of mine picked up a nexus, it's a pretty sweet stick. I picked up a tsunami slow pitch spinning rod over the winter and live it. Super light and super strong and doesn't hurt the wallet either
