How and why would you run 15lbs of drag on a rod rated for 15-30lb line? On thirty, you should be maxing your drag out around 7.5-8 pounds. I have a few seekers, but mostly Calstar rods now. I'm a pretty big fan of the GG 20-50 with a 7 foot blank, nice action, but tip might be a bit soft for the weight you are jigging. The 700L and XL are rated 30-80lbs and have a tip and forward section that would foot the bill for you. Plus, you could pull on moose all day with this rod!
