30-50lb Jigging rod how to set up

I am looking to build a Jigging rod for a Quantum Cabo 60 with 50lb braid,, I tried jigging for the first time this past weekend and I am hooked. My question is on the butt and the handle.I am going to use a CTS 30-50lb 6' jigging stick, I was thinking of making the butt section about 10" using an 8" slick butt and a gimble, and the handle about 11" foam core, Carbon fibre. Going to use a DPSD24 seat. I got a recommendation on the guides so I think I am set there. What does anyone think of that length of butt and handle and the reel seat. Thanks Scott

For effort efficiency that butt needs to be a lot longer Scott
without going into details search the jigging specific sites for rod images
You will get the drift.

14" rear is my most common length for spin vertical jigging until I get under 5'6" on the blank. Then I go down to 12".

A recent survey in the jigging community came up with the majority in the 18-19 " range.
my own personal ones are 18 1/2" ..........so I was right in the middle.
Lot of personal tast in this & to some extent depends on where you like your rod bucket & whether you jig in the bucket or jig under the arm.
In the end it still needs to be compatible & efficient with the butt in the bucket when a fish is on.
For most the rear grip length was constant irrespective of rod length............as the shorter rods were seeking improved fighting efficiency.
and improved effort efficiency with heavy jigs.
