Maybe for the next MGL I get . I fished the EMTF today and used it for T-rigs, Jigs, and Keitech 4.8s (Met MGL XG is awesome for keitechs by the way) and I'm super pleased. Might be ordering a Perfect Pitch here soon since I need a new frog rod. Quote
stk Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Perfect pitch is an awesome rod. I use it for frogs, heavy jigs and punching. Quote

Super User WIGuide Posted August 12, 2016 Super User Posted August 12, 2016 I finally replaced a couple rods that I accidentally snapped under a tie down cleat. So far they're performing well! 10 Quote
Wind Knot Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 My only legit bass fishing rod is a St. Croix Mojo Bass and an Abu Black Max. I've got some other rods for panfish and trout. I'm definitely gonna upgrade the reel before getting any more rods because it isn't as smooth as some of the spinning reels I'm used to. Quote
EllisJuan Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 I am determined to learn how to fish a jig. Next time out, these are all that are coming with me.... 7 Quote

That's how I became comfortable with a jig: using it exclusively for a while. I learned during the pre-spawn when they were hungry. There are those that'll tell you that you must set the hook hard right away, but in my case I only started having success when I delayed the hookset a second or two. I do set hard, but not till I reel down until I feel the weight of the fish. Before learning this, I was just jerking the jigs out of their mouths. Quote

I don't know which casting NRX you have in the photo but this 894C with a Met on it accounted for my biggest jig fish so far this year - 6.7 lbs - so I know your combo should work... 1 Quote

That is a great looking fish. That Met in on a 803c. The spinning rod is a 852s...a little light for a jig, but that setup skips a bait so nicely I thought it may be good for getting under docks/cover. My next NRX will be a 4 power. Quote

stk Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Excellent reels. Exsence DC has been awesome on frogs and heavy jigs. Core has been on my list for a while. Is that the 101mg? Quote

EllisJuan Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Nice Calcutta! I agree on the longer handle...makes all the difference in the world. How long is that one?
