Delaware Valley Tackle Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 I handle a steez rod that fits that description but I don't recall the model. I know some blanks that fit if it comes to that. Quote

Super User WRB Posted September 17, 2017 Super User Posted September 17, 2017 Too soft of tip and you can't get a good hook set with 3/8 bass jigs with medium to heavy wire hooks. Easier to cast sometimes eliminates most jig rods. I know of a rod that meets your goal at $175 Tom Quote

Major Crafts new Don Iovino Top Water Splash-It rod. The rod is designed for top water but reminds more of a Doddle rod with flexible tip and loads up good to set jig and worm hooks. This is more of a all around rod then how it's labeled. The rod is 6'8" Fuji micro guides and reel seat, split handle very well made and weighs 3.6 oz. Tom Quote

DINK WHISPERER Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 The Phenix recon elite 715 is exactly what you need! I use it to pitch and skip 3/8-1/2 jigs. Plenty of backbone and a really soft tip. It's not in your price range but it's exactly what you're describing. Quote

Similar to the swim jig finesse from the legend tournament line. Quote
