Didn't a guy on this forum
Didn't a guy on this forum lose a Stella when his monster mesh rod snapped? Daiwa sent him a demon blood in compensation! Get a demon blood!

that was on the original
that was on the original Monster Mesh, not the MM Max. Havent seen any faults with the Maxes yet. certainly are a good rod, but not so much for demersal. Stick with something like a Demon Blood 64 Combi Jerk. Pe2-4. Perfect action, bit more length for action of plastics/jigs. Most of all, parabolic. Definitely worth the extra bit of coin.

high sticked, no doubt. All
high sticked, no doubt. All rods will snap if fished incorrectly, especially graphite. I will still go a demon blood over a deep jig tcurve, and you may know the reason.... ;)

I got one
Don't worry about one breaking, it is a good sambo rod.
demersal jigging you are looking closer to pe 3.
head to a good tackle store and listen to their ideas. Otherwise plenty of guys upgrade here so put a want to buy and will get some attention.
if you are keen on the monster mesh pe 6 I have one in spin you can buy from me if you want, but won't sell it to you if you want a demersal jigger. I have t Curve 200 and slightly prefer it as it is lighter, though quite like the monster mesh too.
plenty of info on jigging rods if you search this site too.
Wise man says - first take the plank out of your own eye before trying to take the speck out of somebody else's.

^ agree with Ricey
PE 6-8 is way too heavy of demersal jigging. Go have a chat with one of the tackle shop guys and they'll steer you in the right direction. Was the older model Monster mesh that snapped. But it was the popper/jigger PE 4-6. I just bought a Black Hole Hurricane PE 0.9-2.5 which I'll use for all my demersal jigging. Nice little rod. Also remember with your demersal jigging, a slightly longer rod will give you a better jig action fluttering around on the bottom. Around the 6'- 6'6" mark.
happy shopping mate!

Demersal jig rods
Hi mate, Agree the PE6-8 rod is too heavy for demersal jigging though we can show you a few different rods instore that will be suitable aswell as info on jigs, leaders, terminal and all the rest on demersal jigging if you like.
