CLW Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 I need a rod for fishing light jigs from 1/4oz then up to 3/4oz or to so oz I want it to be 7'6 or close to it and that it is stiff but it has got to be $120 or lower Quote
riverbasser Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 I just picked up a veritas 2.0 for the same purpose. And although I haven't fished it yet. It feels pretty good in the yard. Seems to meet all your criteria except its only 7'. Don't know if they make it in longer models or not Quote
Super User Darren. Posted January 3, 2017 Super User Posted January 3, 2017 Welcome aboard! Sounds like you need something like a M to MH You'll want to check rod ratings to see what one can throw. I'd suggest Bass Pro's Carbonlite series. My MH can go 3/8 to 1oz, while my M can go 1/8-1/2. Other brands/lengths may vary. But the Carbonlite is right in your range and get a lot of great reviews.

BigShew2 Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Abu Garcia vendetta 7'3" mhf fits the bill, and only $80. They fill pretty good in the hand as well. Quote
Super User fishnkamp Posted January 3, 2017 Super User Posted January 3, 2017 Take a good look at a Dobyns Fury FR 734C It is 7'3 HVY rated for 1/4 to1 ounce. Most Dobyns feel about a half step lighter than they call for. They are light and well balanced and built with good components. The rod is an extremely versatile stick. They sell for $110. Check their website and you can order one from Tackle Warehouse. Quote
Jagg Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Yup, St Croix Mojo pitchin' rod. Should go on sale before Spring. Also try Academy's H2O express line of rods. Some of the Ethos rods are on clearance for $60 and less. Quote
