What makes a jig-and-worm rod so good for both?

Then it is an all around general rod for many applications, but not any one specific application.

 

No problem with it. Use and enjoy the rod.

I tried to replace  it twice but keep going back to it .  The handle is shorter than on other rods and doesnt get in the way .  Most rod have too long a handle for me .

My worm and jig rod does not say worm and jig . It reads 6'8" MH .

Same here. Mine says 6'6 med hvy, and I use mono line too

I like to use either FC or Co-Poly on my worm and jig rods.  I do use braid occasionally but we have a lot of cottonwood trees and I do not like that the line lays on the water and picks up the cotton.   I prefer all three of these line to mono for this application.

Thanks for all the advice; this has been really helpful. I'm now leaning to using this rod for bottom contact jigs and weighted worms, but seeing as sensitivity is a key factor there, am I canceling that out by using my standard 12 lb test mono with its inherent stretch?

 

If you could rig a Mojo Bass 6'8 MH/F with line of your choice for bottom contact jigs and worms, what line would you use?

Fluorocarbon is what I use for bottom contact baits. It offers good slack line sensitivity and doesn't stretch so much that it hinders hookups but it does have some stretch. Braid is very sensitive but only when the line is tight and it has zero stretch, which I don't like but some people do. Co-poly like P-Line CX or Yo-Zuri Hybrid is a good middle of the road line between mono and fluoro.

 

All that said, people, (myself included) have been catching bass for decades using regular mono. I think your rod is perfect for bottom contact baits like t-rigs and lighter jigs.
