Added on June 5, 2012, 1:22 pmSince the date is not fixed yet, perhaps place your name in first then we see how to adjust the dates. Jigging is different compared to bottom sea fishing. Bottom seafishing is time based(weather, current, the whole week response and actions) where as jigging does not.

Jigging covers all range of depth water and all you need is the stamina to perform such nia. Also, in order to sustain energy, there are plenty of methods of jigging where you can conserve energy.

For beginners, i recommend long stroke. Long stroke jigging is where your jigs reached the bottom and you lift your rod from waist degree to 45 degrees(like striking a fish bite), then crank the remaining line while lowering your rod to waist line and the rest is just a repeat. What happened underwater would be the jig fluttering/spiraling/sinking with certain actions(jig hydrodynamic dependant - suggest check out Shimano's center vortex, whirlig and a few more to understand further) also giving time for the pelagic species to wham on the jig and creating reaction strike. Long stroke can also be performed with different speed thus would be a vast coverage of jigging depth for beginner la.

There are others like speed jigging, bouncing base and such.

Added on June 5, 2012, 1:26 pmI've seen people DIY using a RM29.90 book shelf. Try googling bookshelf rod rack or book cabinet rod rack

Alternatively, you can get a 10feet PVC pipe of 2.5inch.
1. Saw them into 6 inch each
2. You will complete to have 20pcs of 6inch x2.5inch diameter PVC pipe.
3. Either glue them together or tie them up together

End result, you will have a bunch of tied up(firmly) 2.5inch diameter pipe. Lay them on the ground, and wallah~! There you go 20pcs rod holder at one go!

Added on June 5, 2012, 1:32 pmBro Kuman,
The rod that i chose for you, could be used as jigging rod due to the action of fast tapered and poundage. However, that rod would be good to use with 40~60grams of jigs, meaning that it's suitable for light jigging(P9, Pekan, Merchong, Rompin, Tioman). The place that we're going for jigging would be deep around 240ft average, thus you will need approximately 150grams above jigs depending on the current speed. You would be able to drop the jig to the base, but i dont think the rod would be able to lift the jigs action. Yes, you could say that the rod can handle fishes up to 10kg(depending on how you fight the fish) but the jig would not be able to perform due to the weight and the jig's hydrodynamic. Lots of load to the rod, chances is that it would break.

Reckon that you get a new jigging rod which is less ex and useable.

As for your 3000 series reel, it's actually enough for the use but the line is not. Suggest to get somewhere around 25~30lb line. Assuming that you are able to get 10m of 40lb in your 3000series, if you were to use 25~30lb, you could get somewhere around 150m(450ft approx) which is sufficient. Unless the place that we hunt have loads of toothy pelagic, there is no need to bring spare lines
