I am guessing a tennessee mount is simple one that is adjustable to fit on different parts of the rod? The suggestions sound good. Thanks Billsjigs!
I use at least a 6' rod for bluegill and a light weight braid. Casting can be a challenge with the very light weight jigs, especially when windy. Sometimes I let out a few feet of line and wip the rod back slowly before casting to load the rod up as much as possible.
