Lexa 300 or 400 for Calstar 8' jigstick? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

So I just found a sweet deal on a Calstar deckhand rod (WCDH-270-8H-C.)

I figured I'd toss jigs with it and pair it with my fave, Diawa Lexa. What size do you guys suggest? The 400 has always looked and felt awkward to me but the extra capacity sound appealing considering the rig I want to build.

Oh, and I've tried multiple conventional reels and just can't get used to them, thus my leaning towards the casting style of the Lexa. Please don't judge, it's the bass angler in me. LOL

Thanks in advance....
