CroakHunter Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Pitching jigs and texas rigs in coveris my favorite way to catch fish. Mostly stick to 1/4 up to 1/2 weights in both jigs and texas rigs. Picked up some 3/4 ounce weights and jigs and curious about what you guys are using. I think I will probably use my 735 fury with 18-22lb fluoro or my 8' heavy daiwa fuego with 50lb braid or 22lb fluoro. Quote

RHuff Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 7’4 Heavy/Fast Carbonlight 2.0 Rod with Lew’s Super Duty 8.3:1 Reel and either 20lb Flouro or 65lb Braid depending on the situation. Quote
Super User Columbia Craw Posted February 1, 2019 Super User Posted February 1, 2019 Sounds like you have a couple of set ups that should work good. I just like a bit longer rod so anything over 1/2 gets a 795 Flip. I like flouro over braid but that's just me. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 2, 2019 Super User Posted February 2, 2019 The only time I use a 3/4 or 1-ounce jig is when I'm punching. So my punch rig is a 6'6" Daiwa Procaster rod with an Abu 5600 C3. I have it spooled with 50# power pro. Quote
CrankFate Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 I don’t throw 3/4. I am at 1/2oz and under. The heaviest weight I use is 10 grams. And that is “heavy” for me. For things like cranks they are somewhere around 15 grams maybe? Quote
papajoe222 Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 I only have one combo for jigs and worm rigs over 1/2oz. It's built on an MHX blank ( FS904-W-MHX ) paired with a TD 150H Advantage spooled with 50lb. Suffix 832. Quote

This is the rig I'd use Of my own line-up, the 7' H/F Diawa Aird-X with a Fuego CT-XS loaded with 50# Power Pro is what I'd use. Bought for pitching/flipping but would also be a good heavy jig rod. Quote
The Maestro Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Any MH or Heavy flipping/pitching rod should be fine for 3/4oz. Really depends on where you're fishing them and what rod(s) you prefer. I use 65lb PP and 80lb PP for my heaviest punching rig. Quote
