MichiganFishing1997 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Just what length you use, and maybe comment on why you like that length. Quote
daiwaguy Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Well I am tall so I prefer a 7' to 7'2". Only time I opt for a shorter rod is when I am in close to docks flipping under them then I go for something in the 6'6" to 6'8" range. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 31, 2014 Super User Posted January 31, 2014 Standard lengths are fine (6 1/2' - 7'), but a lot of guys prefer longer rods. Mine are 6'9", 7', 7'1" and 7'6" Quote
daiwaguy Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 7'6" is another one in my aresonal. I mainly use it for fishing in the thick stuff. Quote
tbone1993 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Mine is 7 ft 3 but also use a 7ft I fish mostly open water stuff. My punch rod /arig rod is 7 ft 9. I am taller so i can get away with pitching a 7 ft 3 rod. If I was shorter I would use a 7ft rod. The punch / arig rod is so long to cast big baits far, no other reason. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted January 31, 2014 Super User Posted January 31, 2014 All mine are 7'4. Better leverage and you pick line up quicker. Quote
Grantman83 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Between 7 and 7'4. My favorite is a DX 745. I throw jigs on several rods depending on water depth or how close I am. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted January 31, 2014 Super User Posted January 31, 2014 Let's see ~ there's the 6'6" model, the 6'10" stick, the 7' wand and the 7'4" industrial crane. That about covers it. I guess I like jig fishing a little. A-Jay 2 Quote

Super User Raul Posted January 31, 2014 Super User Posted January 31, 2014 Like most of my bass fishing rods ----> 6´ Quote
MichiganFishing1997 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 So would 6'9 would be ok? Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted January 31, 2014 Super User Posted January 31, 2014 I'll fish a jig on any rod that I think is sensitive enough for the purpose, and has enough backbone to set a thick single hook. Length is determined by where I'm fishing and what I'm fishing around. As far as a "primary" jig rod goes, I'd have to say mine is 7'5". 1 Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted January 31, 2014 Super User Posted January 31, 2014 6'6" to 6'8", because 6'8" is the longest one that will fit in my car...lol. Hootie 2 Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 6'9" will work fine. As your budget allows you can try new things and see what works for YOU. There is right or wrong for the most part (within reason of course). Quote

There is right or wrong for the most part (within reason of course).I asked because I was offered a 6'9 MH Zillion for 140 in the flea market. Quote
daiwaguy Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I was wondering if you were going to jump on that. I would. It is a great rod an for 140 I dont think you are going to beat it. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 31, 2014 Super User Posted January 31, 2014 Mine range from 6'8" to 7'11". It al depends on what type of jig fishing I;m doing. 7' is a good all around start. Quote
Garret88 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 This may be a dumb question but...what is the point of buying another jigging rod that is only 1inch longer than another you already have? I mean is there a reason behind that 1 inch increase? Aside from just having another rod for a different bait style/color or line type/size? Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted January 31, 2014 Super User Posted January 31, 2014 7 and 7'4 Quote
mjseverson24 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 1 X 6'6", 3 X 7', 2 X 7'2", 1 X 7'6", 1 X 7'11". these cover rods for both jigs and t-rigs. Mitch Quote
