kingmotorboat Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 This topic may have been done to death but im just wondering for my t rig/jig rig. I plan on using as little as 1/8 up to 3/8 of an ounce. Edit-casting rod Quote
ChrisWi Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Kistler Magnesium, iRod Genisis 2 is popular, Powell Inferno. There are many choices in this price point. A MH/F will probably do the trick unless you're using heavy wire hooks, then maybe get a heavy. Quote
thehooligan Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Id look for a used avid or cumara. Quote
kingmotorboat Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 Just was wondering im getting a tatula or type r tatula and want to be able to feel everything. Right now im running my revo s on a vengeance rod. Not so sensitive Quote
ABW Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Kistler Magnesium, iRod Genisis 2 is popular, Powell Inferno. There are many choices in this price point. A MH/F will probably do the trick unless you're using heavy wire hooks, then maybe get a heavy. Just a question, have you used any of those rods? I don't think you should comment on them if you haven't used them before. Pertaining to the OP, its really up to you. I vote my Powell Endurance. 2 Quote
kingmotorboat Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 Im really liking the look of the kistler magnesium Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted December 23, 2014 Super User Posted December 23, 2014 Dobyns champion Phenix Recon Powell endurance Kistler Klx Duckett white ice Cashion Various St. Croix rods *** black Falcon bucoo Various Shimano rods Quantum smoke Daiwa tatula Bps Carbonlite See how this works is... You'll hear 100 different answers. Some people don't even own or have minimal use of what they recommend. Some people just repeat what they hear elsewhere. There is no real right answer to this question. The Tatula is a nice $90 rod that's out right now. Pair it with a tatula reel for $95 and you have yourself a nice combo for $200. 3 Quote
ChrisWi Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Im really liking the look of the kistler magnesium very nice rods. Built super good. Dont own one but handled them and got to fish with one for a bit and considered getting one myself. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted December 23, 2014 Super User Posted December 23, 2014 What line do you intend to use? Braid & carbon lines can really help overcome a rods lack of feel.. Quote
desmobob Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 I have a few rods in that price range... a St. Croix Premier and a couple of the Kistler Carbon Steel. I didn't get to fish the Kistlers a whole lot as I got them near the end of the season, but I'd say the Carbon Steel are more sensitive than the Premier (and lighter). Tight lines, Bob Quote

kingmotorboat Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 What line do you intend to use? Braid & carbon lines can really help overcome a rods lack of feel.. I have 30# power pro braid on my vengeance but thats going to become my spinnerbait/topwater rod and reel. The tatula and new rod will be my soft plastics/jig rig. I will string it eith fluoro. My question is this. If i go with a medium fast *** black. Will the lighter power sacrifice the sensitivity Quote
kingmotorboat Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 Will going with a medium power sacrifice the sensitivity? Curious into the mechanics of rods. Quote

Super User rippin-lips Posted December 23, 2014 Super User Posted December 23, 2014 No matter if it's a medium or a medium heavy sensitivity isn't changed. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted December 23, 2014 Super User Posted December 23, 2014 I use a heavy ***, and don't own the medium, however I don't see where that matters.. The *** has excellent feel with carbon, palms sweetly with a 50 size reel. Tatula is a bit bigger, I would wonder how the rod & reel together would palm? *** has a tiny grip...overall the *** has great feel though. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted December 23, 2014 Super User Posted December 23, 2014 See I'm the exact opposite. I couldn't stand the *** and sold it. Basically what I was saying earlier OP. No real answer. Quote
Blues19 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 I love my *** Black. Its a darn good rod for $100-$120. As for M or MH, that is a tricky one. According to rod rating, it would look like the M would probably be better for 1/8 oz-3/8 oz but I am not sure how the backbone is of a Medium powered ***. I have a 7'3" MH and I feel like it would be really tough to cast an 1/8 oz jig or T-Rig on it. Its a stiff rod. Being so stiff, Im guessing a Medium would be your better guess. An interesting note...according to ***, the ML spinning rod is made for those weights... Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted December 23, 2014 Super User Posted December 23, 2014 They are stiff... Quote

kingmotorboat Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 I'd go with a Mh. M action rods are under powered for most jigs. I primarily fish soft plastics over jigs. Reason i asked is because of the weight rating on the *** mh Quote
kingmotorboat Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 Truth. Better be safe and get one of each. You know... For science. Clearly this is the best option for me lol 1 Quote
ChrisWi Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 I primarily fish soft plastics over jigs. Reason i asked is because of the weight rating on the *** mh I'd handle an *** before I get one. Was planning on getting one till I held it. Handle is way too small for me and it felt cheap. Quote
