Thank you for the recent suggestions and information. I feel like I have a ton of research ahead of me.

 

You're welcome. If it helps at all in my case after trying out a bunch of stuff I've figured out I like different types of rods for different things. For bottom contact finesse type stuff I personally really like carbon fiber handles since they feel a bit more sensitive to me and at this point 4/5 of my spinning rods have a carbon fiber handle. Having said that I personally like the poison adrenas but they aren't cheap / for everybody and I've found the Psycho Stick is a good option if you want something similar but not as expensive...

 

I'm not sure why Okuma is only selling those 2 for 50% off but at that price I think it's a good deal and out of all the casting models those 2 seemed like the best fit for the jig you are using regardless of price...also like the idea of getting it straight from the manufacturer instead of a clearance bin in a sporting goods store where it's been sitting for years...although I can't knock the clearance bin in the sporting goods store too much since that happens to be where I got my poison adrenas...speaking of that and like @Gera said you might also be able to find one of the old casting models for a good price (although if it were my I'd probably opt for the PAD172MA in this case since I prefer a fast action for a bottom contact jig) and if so that might be another option to consider.
