my choice for deep jigging

The Diawa Heartland SS791XHRB is my choice for deep jigging King Salmon in the tidal rips of Kodiak Island Alaska. As a charter captian for the last 22 years here I've used up a lot of rods in the course of a season - Not this one. Match it up with a Shimano Tekota line counter spooled with 20 or 30# test Power Pro and 6 ounce Luhr Jensen stingers and you've got a fish killing setup.

I don't know much for bass fishing but I have used the heartland S 7'6" listed here for Chinook salmon. Casting 2.5 to 4 ounce drift rigs into fast water for spring Chinook is hard on any rod. Fighting 30-40 pounders in that water is murder, most guys use 9' or 10'' salmon rods. I''ve got nothing but respect for this rod, it''s fought over 180 Springers in the last 3 years and the only damage it has sustained was a minor problem with the tip eye... apoxy fixed that right on the river bank. If this rod can take down the King, I think it can handle a few bass.
