Which light offshore rod?

Looking for a light offshore rod to pair my Branzino 3000. It would be used for casting as well as light jigging, chasing mahi mahi, snapper, smaller king and tuna.

I have these models in my mind. Would love to hear some thoughts.

Catalina Nabura, game 68S-3.N:

Whats the difference between these two models. Spec. wise they look almost the same. Both are designed for casting and jigging. The 68S has higher max rating 30lb and 10g lighter, whereas the Nabura is rated 20lb. Would it be better to get the 68S? The Nabura has two butt grip though.

I am also thinking about the Catalina All Rounder 70S, or even the Saltiga Dorado All Rounder 71S. Heard its good match for the Branzino 3000. Again, the difference is 20lb vs 30lb max. These are stated as casting rod. Would it be good for multi purpose for doing light jigging as well?

Cheers

Do you have access to them all? If so just take the reel in and see how it feels on all the rods? They'll all be nice rods!

Sadly the local stores dont have these model, but they can order for me. So seeking for some info on forum instead.
