jigging for demersals

Hoping someone can give me advice. 

I'm looking at getting a rod for light -medium jigging with jigs and plastics matched with a 4000 catalina. 

Currently looking at saltist hyper 64cj.

Can anyone give me their thoughts on this rod or offer their thoughts on an alternative rod. I'm looking for a pe3 rod.

 

Cheers

 I use that rod with my 3000

 I use that rod with my 3000 stella and love the action with light jigs. Plenty of grunt to pull up big fish too.  4000 reel will suit it well.

Mate out of all my outfits by far this one cranks. Great rod and perfect for that size reel. I run 20-30lb 8 weave braid on mine matched up with a stradic 4000 sized reel. Heaps of grunt and a pleasure to use!

Bit lighter than what you're

Bit lighter than what you're looking at but I got the Catalina 70SN rod for jigging placcies and small jigs. Matched it with a 5000 Biomaster.

Brilliant combo
