Jigging Rod Options for A Guy That's Been Out Of The Loop
Good evening, Ladies & Gentlefishermen,
Looking for suggestions from the old jiggin' crowd concerning a new rod or two...or three.
I have developed the dreadfully contagious Tackle Acquisition Disorder this winter that comes from visiting these Crappie.com forums. Currently my fever can only be lessened by locating a proper new jigging rod or 2. I'd like to find something with the reel seat at the butt end like a fly rod in a 10' to 11' with ample guides. I've never owned one purposed exclusively for jigging and I am thinking I need to add to the empty spot or 2 in my rod holder.
What are my options and who's got 'em?
Thanking you in advance.

Ozark is my choice. I have multiple 11' rear seat Ozarks and love them.

Ozark Rods are my choice, too!! They have the best crappie rods on the market.
I use the 11' rear reel seat for jiggin and love it...
When using the rear reel seat the reel is behind your hand and that part of the rod/handle braces against your forearm.
I like the rear reel seat because I can lay the line across my finger and feel the slightest "bump" on the bait...
You can get them at SimplyCrappie.com
And you can take a look at the Ozark Rod Co. website at www.OzarkRodCompany.com

I have never seen an ozark rod in person. I have always used the sams sensitive and the gold series rods. Which ozark jigging rod would compare in the rod action to the gold series. The light or heavy action? Would like to try one out. I am having to replace the tiptop eye about every 2 months on the b&m rods due to the ceramic insert.
