Hey All! New here and want to gather some opinions from some fellow fisherman.

I am fairly new to using forward facing sonar and the first thing I figured out is I need some long poles! My current rod/reel combos are St Croix Avid 6-6.5ft spinning rods with Shimano Stradic Ci4 reels. I use 6-8lb line with tandem 1/16oz jigs or a single 1/8oz jig. I can feel the lightest of taps on these set ups.

I am interested in a 12-14 foot vertical jigging rod that would enable me to drop down my tandem 1/16 rigs or a single 1/8oz jig. Ideally this rod would use a spinning reel, have a mid reel seat on the handle (not rear seat), and be sensitive enough to where I can feel a light thump. I would appreciate any recommendations no matter how cheap or how expensive.

Thanks everyone!
