Any of Batson's 822.5's or since he plans to keep the line on the lighter side, the ISJ781 is a great option as well. The ISJ781 has a slightly softer tip, but the 822.5 has a fair amount more backbone. Both throw 1/8oz. open hook jigs great.

Count me with Joe
The RX8+822.5 blank is an incredible blank Rated for 1/8-58 oz. However it is rated for 6-14 lb line. But would still be my personal choice Re: Blank suggestions
