What Do You Use For A Jig Rod?

Duckett 7'6" XH XF, the perfect pitching rod in my opinion.

That's funny, I like a longer grip. I put the butt of the rod to the side of my chest and then set the hook. Some days I go home with marks all over my chest where the metal butt plate of my Veritas has dug into me.

Dobyns DX 744 for footballs

Dobyns DX 745 for heavier cover

Dobyns Champion 736 for straight up nasty stuff

I'm very old school in that I use shorter rods than most but I have used them so much I'm actually pretty good with them. My flipping set up is a custom 7' Shakiri heavy powered fast action blank, paired with a Pflueger Supreme casting reel which is no longer made but it is built like a tank and perfect for flipping. For pitching I use a 6'6" Quantum Superlight PT medium heavy powered fast action with a Quantum Smoke 150, I just switched to that reel last year and it is great for pitching, I can put a 3/8oz jig in a 16oz coffee can from 35' out consistantly.

I have 2 combos I'll fish a jig on:

St Croix Mojo 7'MHF, Daiwa Advantage 150H, 50# braid

St Croix Avid 6'6"MHF, BPS Carbonlite, 30# braid

The mojo also serves as my frog rod, but other than that whichever doesn't have a jig on will usually have a texas rig on.

[Hi Salenity]

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?

Hookset problem solved. I tied my fc to a tree and gave it a tug and determined it was made by slinky.

I changed to braid and went fishing and had had no problems with hooksets.
