Hello,
based on my research when you set up a vertical jigging rod using a spinning reel 10,000 or smaller the gudies are as follows, 30-20-16-12-10-10 tiptop 10. no most 5'4''-5'6'' rods. Why can't you go 30-20-12-8-8-8-tiptop 8 or 30-20-12-10-10-10 tiptop 10 ?

No reason, Size, within reason, isn't important. Location is.

Hi Ridge,
For my personal use I wouldn't be going above 8's and I'd be looking to get as much weight off the tip as possible. Jigging can be very tough and the more weight the tougher it is. I'd also be looking to see if I could use 6's if any knots would allow.
