I have a 6' xxh that I use for live bait and bottom fishing mostly. I really like it, and the components are high quality. It's a jigging rod, so when you load it up, it bends though the entire length. I've caught a number of big sharks with mine that were able to pull drag at 25+ lbs and the rod performed flawlessly.

For casting poppers, you may want something longer and faster if you're going for long casts. Other than that, it would probably work just fine.

Is it possible to cast with jigging rods?

i have casted with my 6' and 6'6" trevala jigging rods. the farthest(with a 40 gram float) i've done with a Tani-nized reel and rotating parts lightened(modded Calcutta Conquest) is around 70 meters.

They cast fine.  I think the length will matter more than the action to your casting distance in normal use.  Most of my saltwater spinners are on jigging rods, and I never had an issue with casting.  My current popper rod is a 7'6" jigging rod. I like the parabolic bend for fighting fish at high drag, but it's also a little harder to turn the fish since the rod bends so deep.
