RandySBreth Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 With what kind of jig? For punching matts and lily pads, or for stream Smallmouths? For 1/8th ounce hair jigs in Winter, or for 3/4 ounce football heads? There's lots of different kinds of jigs. Quote
-nick- Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 DX744C as of yesterday. I can easily cast 1/4-3/4 jigs a mile and is plenty sensititve and lightweight and perfectly balanced. Quote
Blade-Runner Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 St. Croix LEC70MHF. It has the ability to cast a variety of jig weights well, and has plenty of power. Quote
Super User David P Posted February 20, 2010 Super User Posted February 20, 2010 For where I fish, Dobyns 765. Super light, super well balanced, and extremely sensitive. For lakes and such, I'd go with the Dobyns Extreme 744. Quote

bobbyc Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Kistler- magnesium TS, MH, 6'10" cast- line wt. 12-17 lb.- lure wt. 1/4-3/4 oz. (MgAJFHJMH610) perfectly balanced, good backbone, very sensitive. This is an Alton Jones 'football jig' signature model. Quote
RobE Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I'm actually in the process of building my fave right now. I thought of all of the good charicteristics of the rods that I've used on Lakes Norfork and Bull Shoals over the years and rolled them into one. This is a 7' Forecast MB843 MH Fast that will sport a Revo S. It's spiral wrapped with Alps BUDUG guides in 12 for the stripper, an 8 and then 6's to the tip. Quote
TJHfishin Posted February 21, 2010 Author Posted February 21, 2010 the rod im using now is a 6'6 mh mag touch rod by cabelas it has a lot of backbone its light and pretty sensitive but im hoping to be able to use my vendetta here soon when ever it gets here and hoping thats more sensitive Quote
