What Do You Use For A Jig Rod?

[Hi Salenity]

What does everyone use to flip & pitch jigs? I lost my 7'11'H Rage rod and am about to buy another rod.

I'm thinking about another 7'11'' Rage or a 7'10''HF Legend Tournament but I want to know what everyone else is using.

[scrutch]

Dobyn's DX 795 FLIP. Absolutely awesome rod. Über sensitive, perfect power, super light.

[Alpster]

Loomis IMX custom FS905 Flippin Stik. It is heaven for pitching jigs.

Dobyns Champion 735C, my first Dobyns rod and I can tell you it wont be my last I love this rod!

[msolorio]

+1 for the dobyns 735c. i use an allstar 7'6" heavy telescoping as well. not the nicest lookin rod but geez its light, sensitive, and powerful. lookin at gettin a bps carbonlite flippin stick soon.

[flippin and pitchin]

Dobyns DX745 and DX784.

A jig rod is probably the only technique rod I think that is important, other than that I'm fine with multi purpose rod. The weight of jigging a heavier jig, in my case bucktails and butterflys, will put my back into a world of hurt using an inappropriate rod. I have heavy for spinning and xh for bait casting gear.

I just bought a Loomis BCR875 for punchin. That is what I am using now. I had an opportunity to handle a Loomis FSR904X GL2 last week. When I get the money, I will be getting the IMX version of that rod and it will replace the BCR875 for punchin.

For light duty pitchin, I am using my Loomis MBR 844IMX.

[Chris at Tech]

Zillion 7'MH/F paired with Zillion reel. Heaven.

[LuckyHandsINC.]

7'2 shimano cumara MH/f with patriarch XT.

[Mike__D]

I have a bunch of options, but so far I have not decided which rod I will use for my jig fishing... Here is what I have to select from:

Dobyns Extreme DX795

Dobyns Extreme DX745

Shimano Cumara CUC-X72MH

Daiwa Zillion 7MHF

St.Croix Legend Elite 70MHF

All can be used as a jig rod at the drop of a hat. Just haven't decided which one I will be using exclusively for jigs, yet...

Depends on the weight of the jig, the cover, and casting room.

Here's what I'll tie a jig to:

GL2 803CJWR

LTBC70MF

LTBC70MHF

AVC70MHF

Deep South 7'6" XXH Flippin' Pitchin'

[Siebert Outdoors]

I primarily use 4 depending on circumstances.

Loomis GLX 853, 854, 855, 875

[HookSetDon]

I just did a search for the deep south rods, how are they? seems like the price is too good to be true

[J Francho]

Unbreakable.

[ChiCityBasser]

I have 2 setups I use with the first being:

6'6" Cabelas XML H/F,Quantum Accurist 501 PT with 50# Cajun Braid

7'11" Quantum Superlite QTC711F(Telescoping Blank), H/F, Quantum Accurist AC101 HPT

(7.0 Burner) with 50# Cajun Braid

Those are my 2 choices and haven't had the 7'11 rod out yet but the Cabelas XML set up works great.

What length/action do you prefer while fishing from a Kayak? I'm having some trouble getting a good hookset (may be dink fish) so I'm going back to braid and going with a long fast heavy rod... Thoughts?

[J Francho]

What length/action do you prefer while fishing from a Kayak?

Any. No preference, so long as the rod is suited to the cover. I will say, I don't like monstrous rear grips when I'm sitting.
