Football Jig rod vs. C-Rig Rod

Would you consider these to be one in the same rod or not?
Why?

I think in a general sense you’ll use 15-16lb floro for a FOotball jig and that would ideally be the same thing for your main line average c-rig set up.
Just a thought and wanted to canvass the group

I do both with the same rod, a custom Lamiglas Infinity 7'3" 4-power rod. I do fish lighter/finesse jigs with another rod, though.

Yeah that what I’m thinking
I’m trying to find permanent employment for this 745 HP rod
Slapped on a SV103xs with 1016 spool and 16lb sunline sniper
I know I’m not good at fishing ledges with football jigs or really haven’t been able to find them so I think I’ll do that as it’s cooling off. Just may have one or two setups this being one. I will say that 1016 does rather well in the SV103xs

Thanks for the feedback

I use a champion 804c for both football and Carolina rigging as well as lighter umbrella rigs. It handles all well in my opinion.
