didn't get any big fish on the iron but a few mackerel in the bait I was targetting did take the jig and that felt good on the rod. I could very easily feel the bite and the rod was soft enough that I could feel the bite and get the hook set just by continuing to reel through but not so soft that it just folded over on itself.

Don’t fret the knot passing through the guides - it’s really not a big deal.
