Good Jig, All Around Mh Rod

[CAbassboy]

I am almost 15 and cant really afford much, so keep prices low, but what wouls be a good rod and reel combo for jigs and other lures requiring mh action. I'm applying for jobs and if I get hired ill be able to afford more expensive stuff but until then I need something of good quality but cheap, I was looking at the duckette ghost rods, and rods like thay, but preferably micro guides, and I dont have a idea ona reel, if I can find a phoenix m1 id love one of those or a dobyns. Any info helps. Thanks

Carbonlite pro qualifer combo $150

[The Next KVD]

Pro Qualifier/Veritas combo $150.  Add $10 for a spool of 14lb BPS XPS Fluorocarbon and your in business which will handle light to moderate cover while flipping yet you can still cast a football jig out a good distance.  This will do a lot more than just fishing jigs.

I'm dubious about starting out with flouro if you don't have experience casting - it's a bit cantankerous compared to mono.

BPS PQ and whatever rod in your price range feels best in your hand.

 

12lb suffix seige mono

 

IMO

I'd say a pro qualifier and a veritas for jigs. If you don't want to spend too much, you should be fine jigging with mono or copoly IMO.

New price on the Veritas is hard to beat.

I didn't read through all your posts op, but you don't seem inexperienced, just young.  Go with the fluoro if it works well in your area.

Bps pq/carbonlite or keep your eyes on the flea market

A new Dobyns or M1 would set you back a lot more than the suggestions you've already got.

Any of them are good combos that would suit your needs.

Rod...Shimano Sellus starts @ 50$ it's perfect to start

Reel.... Check Bps..cabelas... And other house brand baitcasters probably @ about 50$ or so...

Abu Black max..49$

Line ...again ..house branded mono in 12-14 pd.

Good luck on you're job hunt! Hope you can get a rod and reel you can get started with now!

Well, i have a jig rod, its just a 6'6 and i want a longer one. I also have been looking at the PQ  combo, love it, i already have one. I am experienced with casting and swear by flurocarbon and braid, i hardly ever use mono. The M1 is a nice rod, really like them! And yes, i am young, hahah.The sellus is a good rod for starters, i still have a drop shot one i still use from when i got started. thanks for the tips everyone. I think i am going to go with the PQ, but if i get the job and can afford it i think i will get a dobyns or M1 and a PQ,

  Okuma EVX-A -  Super light and responsive.  If you buy local, they should have over the counter warranty too.  Can't beat that.

Nice!  Never used one, but read good things about them.  Did you get a job?  If you are looking in that price range, then the KLX has been getting excellent reviews.  A few seem to think it is better than the M1.  I am hoping to get another 4-5 rods this year.  The KLX will be one of them based on what I have read.  Unfortunately I often have to buy sight unseen and the KLX would be one of them in that category.

 

EDIT:  Another rod at the same MSRP is the Fenwick Aetos.  Very nice looking rod.  Haven't used mine with a lure requiring sensitivity yet, but a dependable friend says they are very sensitive rods.
