FishinTN Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Next question for ya'll. I'm undecided on the power of rod to get. I'm leaning toward MH, but wonder should I get a H power rod? I fish KY lake most, There is some really thick stuff but mostly I would say I I fish not so heavy cover(compared to some of what I've seen on shows) As for brands, I'm wanting to try a dobyns. I can get a fair deal on one. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted April 6, 2010 Super User Posted April 6, 2010 I have both, I like both. If you're fishing jigs up to 1/2oz, I'd think you're fine with MH. If you're pulling bruisers out of muck and punching mats of vegetation with big jigs, a heavy would be a better rod. Quote

vulture1 Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 dont forget about the action. If you are going with a MH I would go with an x-fast tip; on the heavy action i would go fast. I just bought a St. Croix legend and I found the MH/fast tip to be al little mushy for my liking to pitch jigs.....the pitching part was fine it was the setting the hook that I did not like. I traded up to the Heavy/fast tip, I like it much better. Quote
Fishaholic7lbs Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 get the skeet reese flippin stick. its gotta great action and its not too stout. as far as a pup wood stick get the team all star 7'6" 15 to 30 and its a good big jig rod as well. Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted April 7, 2010 Super User Posted April 7, 2010 if you are gonna go with Dobyns , i would suggest the 805 for a 8' rod or the 766 for a 7'6" rod . both are heavy powered rods with fast actions Quote
