Looking for a good UL to cast light jigs

[CRIA1576]

Hey guys- I am looking for a good UL to cast light jigs for crappie and bluegills. I have a Pflueger President 6920 to mount and plan to spool 4 or 6 pound line. I would prefer a one-piece rod, but a 2 piece would be okay in a pinch. My budget is less than $100.

Recommendations?

St. Croix Triumph

Fenwick Eagle series rods. 69.00. Great rods. I have several and they are fantastic.

Thx guys, and I have a few St. Croix Triumph rods in the boat already. We use the 6' ML for 1/8 oz and heavier jigs and for slip-bobbers. I am looking for a rod that can sling the light jigs 1/16 oz and lighter that has enough backbone for large crappies/gills and the occasional bass. Any suggestions on rod length, and is it safe to assume it has to be a UL?

I've never owned a Fenwick, but have heard good things about them. What length do you use when casting light jigs?

I've got a few browning air stream in 6'6" ul that do very well casting down to 1/32. Bass pro has them on sale in my area too

There are hundreds of rods that will work for you but, if you already have some Triumphs and like them, why not just get a lighter Triumph?

I fish a lot of dirty water and find using 1-2lb diameter braid (8-10lb test) increases casting distance while not worrying about breaking off as much. That, by itself, helps as much as what brand UL I use.

I use a BnM Crappie Wizard 7.5' with 1# Nanofil to cast 1/64th oz jigs.

B n' M 7' Sam Heaton Super Sensitive. Around $50.00 and you will do no better in my opinion. I have 3 #6920's set up on B n' M rods. No problems, no worries.
