Advice: Best/favorite rods for jigging?

[Lively1]

On another Keuka jigging trip this AM, my buddy noticed my rod tip has quite a bit of flex. Suggested a stiffer pole might work better, got me thinking.

 

The rods I have are Diawa 'Eliminator' medium action 8'6" 12-20 lb. I didn't buy them for jigging, they were just an impulse purchase off the rack at Dicks.  Are these suitable rods for jigging ?  What do you regular jiggers use?

 

Searched for a previous thread on this topic but came up empty.

a 7' medium or medium heavy fast action bass casting rod will work well

I use a 5'9'' Quantum Modulus Graphite XLC (heavy action) bait casting rod with a Shimano Bantum Mag (bait casting) reel and 10 lb Power Pro mainline and an 8 lb Seaguar fluoro leader and the setup works beautifully.... I can feel every little "tick" "tick" even through the graphite rod and braid.
