Jig rod?

[DJD]

I bet a 7ft medium heavy would fit 99% of your needs. I always liked the loomis 3 power rods......I do have a 7-6 MH Cumara that has quickly become one of my favorite rods for jigs though. I like the fast and extra fast rods.

For my heavier jigs I use a 6' 10" mh Team Daiwa rod made for jigging with 20# fluoro line on an XPS Pro Qualifier baitcaster. For lighter applications I like my XPS Prolite finesse set-up. Its an XPS 6' 6" ML Prolite rod and a Prolite Finesse baitcaster that will cast a light jig a country mile. I use 10# fluoro on this set-up, so I try not to get it too deep into the dense stuff. Both of these rods/reels were very affordable, running about $170 for the Prolite and about $190 for the TD/Pro Qualifier. Good luck with whatever you go with.

If your looking to save some money and still have a nice quality rod look into the new rods by Abu Garcia, the Vendetta and the Veritas, are both great rods and the sensitivity is great. I prefer the 7'0 Med Hvy, or the 7'0 Hvy action depending on the size of the jig. Shimano also has a new rod out that is supposed to compete with the Garcia rods, i think even slightly cheaper.

Anybody use the Duckett heavy rods? Was going to maybe get one (need a heavy rod for jigs as well) but haven't seen anyone mention them

I have been using a 7'2" MH Cumara for most of my jig fishing for a couple years. I like it, but Im stepping up to a Heavy crucial. The new crucials have the same blank as the cumaras did.

I use the St. Croix Mojo Bass 7' medium action for my jig rod & love it. It has the split grip handle and the rod tip is sensitive yet I have no problem getting a good hook set with it. Best part is you can get this rod for $100.
