The Duckett Ghost is a great value rod, used my friends ghost and he was casting it twice as far as my okuma. same length rod, both using braid. Duckett in general makes good value and quality rods if your considering changing companies.

Have you tried the Duckett Micro Magic Pro?

Those are way cheaper than everywhere i found them! Just the size and action are off for what i need it for, I need it to be a dedicated worm and jig rod. I want it 7' MH/F 

Get the 7'1MH XF and don't give it a second thought. I have it. It's a nice rod. Good for worm fishing.

I wish I had, but sadly no. I have two white ices coming because of how impressed I was by the ghost.

I like the Fury but the guides on the rod aren't anything to write home about. I have the 7'4" HF, been using it for my jig rod. My buddy has a Fenwick, great rod. He loves those like I love the Mojo Bass lol I think Im going to give the Diawa a chance. Im gonna try a Diawa tatula reel as well. Ive been bass fishing for the past year and a half and have been stuck on St. Croix and Lews. Just time to branch out and try other companies, just to say I have you know what I mean?

The aspect of the Fury I do love is the tip on the rod. Its stiff but you can still feel the weight of the jig. I have absolutely no problem detecting bites in rocks of the extra weight in grass. If youre looking for a cheap and nice rod for kicks and giggles the fury isnt a bad option honestly. But, i would take the mojo bass over the fury everytime IMO

Just for clarification are you talking about the original Mojo's or the new 2016 redesign?

I got mine in the middle of 2015, from what I understand last year was when they upgraded the blank from the 2014 model?

I have been a huge fan of the Mojo Bass from St. Croix, I have 4 of them, and I have a Dobyns Fury as well. I wanted to branch out and try something new. I dont want to spend over $150 for the rod. I was thinking a MH for jigs 1/2 and under, t-riggs, spinners, lipless cranks, maybe frogs. I know certain rods of same power and action still feel different. Just seeing if anyone had any suggestions before I order something. 

You just described an Abu Garcia IKE 70-5 power rod. 1/4-3/4 rated. Fantastic Rod, trust me I promise you will agree.

These are pretty solid rods. The only problem is the guides are tiny, even by micro standards. If you are going to throw any sort of braid to fluoro leader setup these guides will eat it your joining knot really quick. Ask me how I know this?

If you can save $50 more, trying going up a one tier in the rod families you have used already, and you will be amazed at the difference. 

With the rods you already own, none of the rods mentioned are going to blow you away. However if you step up to an avid or a champion I think you will be pleased.

I might have watched a few lures and setups go flying into oblivion...
