JAWS Jigging Blanks - JI7601

Is anyone familiar with the JAWS jigging blanks that Acid Rod carries?

I am finding that most of the jigging blanks out there, unless they say "Light" or "Extra Light" are too stout and too beefy for my application, which is jigging 2 - 3 oz. lures using 12 - 14 lb. test mono (or the braid equivalent). The fish I am catching average 6-8 lbs. with occasional 20 pounders.

I am particularly interested in the lightest JAWS blank listed (and one of the few available in the world that meet my specs.) JI7601, with ratings of Line 10-25lb. and Lure 30-150g (2-4oz.).

I would love to hear opinions on whether this model is suitable for a "lighter" application and not pulling Amberjack off wrecks, which most blanks seem to be designed for. I do not want a pool cue.

Thanks,

Tony
