What Nico said.......... I use 20# test Seaguar's Carbon Pro fluro for jigs.
I rarely cast a jig as the bottom where I fish is so snaggy, i'd get snagged too ofte. I pitch jigs and I love Bassin' with that technique.
I use two or three different rods/action for pitching but my favorite is a 7', 6" Kistler Heavy Helium rod. It's lighter in weight than most any other comparable sized rod, is extra sensitive, and yet has the power to hook and land large Bass. I also use it for throwing Matt's Baby Bass too.

Minimum for me is 7' but I pitch with a 7/6 more often. When pitching. I don't think the length is as important as when flipping.

I am partial to the Loomis 844C also. I find the extra length great for deep water hooksets and in a pinch you can flip with it. I have become partial to 8/30 braid for most of my jig fishing Dylan
