What Rod Power Do You Use For Jigs?

MH/XF for me. I fish way up north, and the fish don't get too big. I think a little less hook set power is a fair substitution for the feel I get out of a MH/XF. Now obviously if you're fishing Guntersville, Okeechobee, anywhere down south with big fish, I recommend a H/XF. But, it's all about your preference. Try out a friend's rod, ask around some more, look into lure weight specs for the rod.

I use a 4 to 5 power mainly... Which I would translate anywhere from a MH to an XH rating on some rods. I want the rod action to have tip but I also want it to eventually shut off.

I use both mh and h.  Last year mainly used the heavy, though.  Just something about pitchin the jig under a dock and knowing you can power that fish right outta there!  I am an odd ball when it comes to the action.  I prefer a more moderate action....too many broken tips with fast and extra fast

I'd lean heavy, but so much depends on which manufacturer you're buying from and other factors like cover, depth, etc.

I would be fishing a half ounce jig around cover rocks / wood on 50 lb braid

For the most part I would say a heavy power rod, but again, power ratings can be pretty different. Considering rods in I've used in the past, a 4 power (heavy) Dobyns is what I would use for 1/2oz jigs, and some guys even like a 5 power in the Dobyns line for that. However, I would also be comfortable with a MH St. Croix Avid for 1/2oz jigs in rocks/wood.

 

Now saying that, personal preference on how you like your rod to load/handle the lure will play a big factor into your choice as well.

Depends on jig weight and but anything 1/2 oz or less gets a MH anything above gets a heavy or mag heavy
