I am looking at purchasing a new jig rod ... I have found 2 that I am interested in, both are G Loomis GLX Jig n' Worm rods. One is 6'8'' MH and the other is 7'1'' XH ... I fish mainly at KY Lake and am not pitching into extra thick cover, I will throw the jig around typical structure, docks, drops, etc. I rarely throw a jig heavier than 1/2 oz, I think I have one 3/4 oz jig. So, would the 6'8'' be a better fit for the fishing I do or ???

I can get both for good prices, hence the reason behind my debate. I have it in my mind that I want a heavy becuase I feel like a Loomis MH (I have several) is not as heavy as others, but I have not used a GLX Jig n' Worm rod.
