My stick's a T540, Rob's is a T100. Both are 10' sticks. Mine's a little thicker at the butt, and I guess is more suited for yellowtail while Rob's is more for the koods and calicos. Someday when I need to double up on my rods, I'll add a T100 (aka 100J) to my collection, but for now, I've got my jigstick. If you're looking for the smaller rod, I'd suggest the Ulua. Afterall, it is the hawaiian war club, right??? Ya gotta have one of them, just so you can say you've got a hawaiian war club!!! IMO, you don't need all the tip action of a graphiter for tossin jigs. A fiberglass rod will have a more parabolic bend to it, and let you cast the jigs better, as well as driving the hook home on the fast crank rather than hookset. Of course, I've never fished the heavier, H rated graphiters so I don't know exactly how they behave, but if they've got the graphite tip, I'm assuming it'll be a little light in the tip. JMO.
