WPCfishing Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 I like to Jig fish a lot these days. I swim them, pitch them, skip them and flip with them. I use two rods. An older USA made Eagle Claw rod MHF 1/4/-3/4 and a Lews CST MHF 3/8-7/8. Add which jig style and brand you prefer to use for different targets with or without a trailer and trailer styles and brand. I want to narrow down exactly which I should stick with. I generally throw black, black blue or black red. I use strike king trailers. Quote

Super User Raul Posted May 31, 2015 Super User Posted May 31, 2015 I don´t have any bait/technique dedicated rods, all my rods are general purpose, if I´m going to fish a 1/8 oz jig then I tie it to my ML or M rod, if I´m going to fish a 1/2 jig then I tie it to my H rod. It all depends on what and to where. Quote

Jon G Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 I have a lot of 4-5 power rods so which ever one I grab to tie a jig on becomes my jig rod Quote
bhoff Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Dobyns Champion 734 or 735 depending on cover. Usually either have a finesse jig with an excite baits raptor chunk on or an arky head. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted May 31, 2015 Super User Posted May 31, 2015 I have 5 or 6 rods that I might throw jigs on. It just depends on cover, jig weight and open rods available. Quote

papajoe222 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Most often I have two jig rods on deck. One (a 7'6" M/H) will always have an Arkie style jig, either 3/8oz. or1/2oz. tied on. The other could have a swim jig, shakey head, football, or stand up style depending on my game plan for the day. I'm not brand loyal, but when it comes to a plastic trailer Rage Tails have taken honors the past few seasons. 1 Quote

masterbass Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 My main jig rod is a megabass xx perfect pitch. This rod also serves double duty as my frog rod. 1 Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted June 1, 2015 Super User Posted June 1, 2015 I use two, for the most part. A Daiwa L&T, 7' H-R, and a St Croix LTB 7' MH-XF. Both are paired with Zillion reel, spooled with 14lb XL. Both will cast a 1/4oz jig/trailer, and both will cast a 3/4oz jig with trailer. Both are about the same in terms of power, or backbone. The difference is the taper, which determines the application. The LTB is a true XF action, while the Daiwa is a regular action, which translates as mod-fast. I use the Daiwa for pitching, because a mod-fast action is a LOT better for pitching. I also use this rod for swimming jigs. The slower action results in more hookups. If I'm only going with one jig tied on, I use this rod. When I have two jigs tied on, the smaller one goes on the LTB. It's a better finesse jig rod than the Daiwa. This rod usually has an Evo Shaky2 jighead tied on; 3/16 - 5/16oz, with a Space Monkey, Rage Lobster or 5" GYCB hula grub. I'm not what you would call a discriminating jig afficiando. I have some Arkie style heads for general use, some football heads for rocks, and some swim types for swimming and weeds. I will discrimate in one case. The Damiki Mamba jig is the best I've ever used for fishing rocks. It gets hung up far less than any other. As far as colors go, I keep it simple; black with blue for dirtier water, and brown with orange for clearer water. Rage Baby craws for the smallest jigs, Lobsters for the largest, and regular Rage craws for mid range weights. 1 Quote

Here's the link: http://www.in-fisher...alks-bass-jigs/ I'm getting very serious about jig fishing. My goal this season is to be able to throw them in any situation. I'm going to want job specific jigs and at least 2 more jig rods and reels to accomplish the goal. I'm interested in learning more about this rod.Has anyone handled this GLoomis rod? G. Loomis GL2 Jig and Worm Casting Rod GL2 724C JWR Length: 6' | Line: 14lb-20lb | Lure: 1/4oz-1oz | Power: Heavy | Action: Fast | Handle: A | MPN: 11963-01 G. Loomis GL2 Jig and Worm Casting Rod GL2 724C JWR Now we're talking short, efficient power stick. When the cover is close and heavy you need a rod that can flick a jig or plastic worm under a bush accurately and pull the bass away from that jungle in a hurry, this is it. It's rated for up to 20-pound test and has more than enough power to handle big baits and big fish. A really good choice for big topwaters around heavy cover. Quote
Frenchman83 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I think skirted jig for this question and those go on a *** *** 7'3" MH casting. If you want to include shaky head, ball jigs and even tubes those go on a 6'7" M spinning. Quote

If you want to include shaky head, ball jigs and even tubes those go on a 6'7" M spinning. I bought 6 more bags of tubes and #3 & 4 Eagle Claw Tube hooks not long ago. I'm using them with a 3/8oz bullet weight pinned to the line at the hook. I was pitching them Saturday. No Luck. I did catch a nice bass with a jig and trailer though. Quote
