Ugly stick jigging rod. Buy it online from dicks. Look around online and you can usually get 10-20% off and free shipping. Will run you 40-50 bucks.

I've got a custom rod I never use that should work no issues. Rain Shadow blank and can handle amberjacks but still light. Looking for $100 for it.

It's both. Will give you the specs tomorrow. I've jigged with it as well as bottom fished. I had a Stella 10k on it as well as an 18k. Ripped it a 50 lb aj and 30 lb tuna no issues. It was built as a cob is live bait boat rod but works for much more
