Correct me if I'm wrong you want a rod to cast with your president and a jigging pole. For casting its hard to beat St. Croix rods. Don't know how much you want to pay but you can buy one from about 110 on up. I like southern rods for trolling and jigging. Very high quality and Ed. Dukes is a fine man and stands behind his product. I broke one and it was my fault. I called him to order a new piece. I told him how I broke it and asked how much an end section would be. He sent me one free. Since I have all southern trolling rods and am fixing to order another one.
