I am at the point where I want to purchase my first JDM rod. My issue is, I am a very tactile person which makes it very difficult to buy new things online. I have to touch them, get a feel for them and see the details. I also seem to be struggling to find websites. I have ordered a couple of things from Digitaka, a couple of reels, some line and a couple of types of jig heads. The reels were ones that I already had the U.S. version of so I was pretty secure in that purchase. I would love some input and suggestions. I am wanting something in the 6' to 6'4" range, and I like a stiffer tip. honestly I like a stiff rod, I am not into super limber noodle rods lol. My favorite type of fishing is a jig under a float, usually tipped with some sort of organic (live) bait. I will also fish a straight jig when I am in search mode. As for budget, I would like to stay under $200.

Thanks in advance for any input on rods and your favorite sites to shop.
