I have a Pfluger President 6925 on a BPS airstream rod (7' ultra-light) and can still only cast a 1/16 oz jig about 20 yrds. It is spooled with 6lb nanofil. If you have any other recommendations for casting light jigs let me know!

Sounds like a terrific trip. My wife & I used to go every year, but that's 30 years ago. If you have a fly rod, try a solid black woolly bugger for trout on the White River. It really produced for us then. Good luck.
