Rod for accurate bx400n

Santa delivered this year and in place of the usual piece of coal was an accurate bx400n. Plan on using it for bottom bashing/jigging will be loaded with pe4. What rod to buy keep in mind it will do more bottom bashing duty than jigging.

Heres a short list of a few im looking at any thoughts or feedback would be appreciated.

OK so i cant find a xzoga

Wed, 2012-01-04 20:53

OK so i cant find a xzoga locally or o/s, no one has responded on the smith and after looking into them (have never really looked at or owned one) im wondering if its a spin only option which is not what i need, so is the JM my last option? I plan on going to asia soon so will pick one up on the way through but was hoping i could find something sooner. Any suggestions appreciated.

Arghhh im struggling to locate a takadum ba 250, was considering a blackbuster but also struggling to find a pe 3-5 model, only found the 4-6 so far and thinking its a bit heavy. Think i'll do a tackle shop trip soon surely i can find something.

Explain why please till,

Explain why please till, watched a couple youtube vids, one is from a fw member liked the action is all. more than happy to settle with a JM Ti, would like to try a synit but the only place i could find one was in the high $600 and as i can get a JM Ti for 2/3 that its hard to justify the differance. (nice typo btw)

Mine was ok, but only ok.

The line touched the blank at extreme loads, the build quality was pretty ordinary. They sell themselves as a jap brand with all the jap writing, but they're made in Malaysia if you look carefully.
