How much do you want to spend?
I have never thrown jigs. Always fished with minnows and have done well. Want to add jigs to the arsenal. Done some research thanks to the experience and knowledge this site offers but one question I could not find is what pole is best for throwing them 1/32oz and 1/16oz jigs. I have pflueger presidents 25 and 30 series. Also any more advice for my first time out throwing jigs is always welcomed.
Thanks

i have a Shakespeare micro graphite rod. 4'6" they come in bigger sizes. that little ultra light has withstood catfish, white bass, carp, you name it. its like an ugly stik without the price of the name. 15-20 dollars at walmart. Sensitive rod. 5 stars.
I jig fish but I don't throw them I tight line them or fish them under a cork
For casting jigs I like a 6'6" light action Loomis. Any rod with a good feel will do, for all day casting the most important thing IMO is to have your rod and reel well balanced.
Bass Pro has their fall sale going on starting the 12th of Aug!!!!! Might be worth a look!!!

Can God trust us.
I like a 6' 6" to 7' lite or ultralight for casting jigs. IMHO the quality of the rod is more important than the reel. Rods are like buying any other tool, buy the best you can afford.
One more question how do you maintain a certain depth? Is there a technique or is it just through practice?
7ft light fast action of the best St croix you can swing.......
