srpbassva Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 All I have is a medium rod baitcast setup can I fish swimjig abd football jigs on it Quote
JGBassinAL Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 How heavy are the jigs? Personally, anything 3/8 and up I use a heavy power rod, but medium heavy will do for anything up to 1/2. The medium won't fit those applications well in my opinion. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted May 20, 2014 Super User Posted May 20, 2014 What is the lure range for your rod? My Medium Falcons are 1/4-1/2 oz. and definitely not my choice for 3/8 oz. jig (which probably weigh closer to 1/2 oz., especially if you add a trailer), but I have other Medium rods that are rated to 3/4 oz. I assume they would work. I use a MH for 3/8 and above although last year I also used a HF with 1/2 oz. jig plus trailer. I don't fish a jig much so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Quote
ABW Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 You'll be able to fish light swimjigs and football head jigs (1/4 - 3/8 oz) Quote
Arv Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Depends on the weight and the wire hook, probably depth and cover as well. I'll fish jigs on a medium power spinning and casting rod, but they don't go over 1/4oz max Quote
