Is this rig for speed/vertical jigging?

Seems like a great price. Any good for jigging? Any thoughts?

Probably just fine, especially for an entry level combo.

Another option that I would gaurantee your satisfaction with would be a saltist with carbontex upgrade and a budget spiral wrapped rod from paul. Should land somewhere close to the same money.

Thanks Sea Draggin,
Entry is where I am at. Nice to know there are options in that price range

I agree with SeaDraggin. I think you would be better off with a saltist and a budget rod from JPR Paul. The sx combo won't have enough drag for most jigging applications. Depends on your target and depth of the water as to what size you need, but there are plenty of good options in that range.
