Wrek3000, I think you've lost track of your original post. You have been given much info from chelub and jewhunter.
Your rod and reel is fine. The SP's you use need to be between 2-4inch (3in preferable)
Your jig head weight is the matter of debate, however JH has provided you with what you should use. They have provided you with all you need except putting a fish on the hook for you. I suggest you re-read this thread, make some decisions, go fishing for a month and report back. I'm sure we are all curious as to how you went!
Good luck!
Cheers scratchie!!!
