    Question Looking for a jig rod


    Fellas help, I'm looking for a 10', 11', 12' jig rod with a reel seat (not 1 of those lil wyndie cheapos). Fredneck has put me on to jig fishing and I must truly admit I kinda like alot. I would like to hear your oppinions about weight, length, durability, and any recomendations that y'all might feel relevant.

    Thanks

    I've got a 7' Wally and a 12' BnM, and I wouldn't trade the Wally for anything else at this time. I can feel my bait and know what it is doing better with the Wally. Plus the Wally has a price tag that is easier on your wallet. Just my opinion.

    The Wally Marshall's are very light and well-balanced.

    Default Jig Rod

    I prefer the B&M Buck's Graphite Jig Pole. I have tried Slater's and Bass Pro Uncle Buck's Deluxe. but the B&M has the most sensitivity of all . You can literally feel the fish breathe on the jig.

    I also have the B&M Buck's Graphite Jig Pole but am thinking about going back to a spinning reel instead of the baitcaster I put on there. I spent 36 Bucks at Wall Mart.

    Default Rods

    I have about 6 Wally Marshalls, 2 Wally Marshalls Mighty Lite's, 2 B&M Buck's, 1 American Rod Smiths and 3 Fly rods and for me a #6 9' Fly rod is hard to bet.You can fish with a 9' Fly Rod all day they are so light.
    Let's go fishing.

    I agree! Mighty lights are awesome. I would not waste money on anything besides wally marshall rods.

    In my guide service I have used many different jig poles in all the lengths and always end up coming back to the BnM products. The 10' length seems to work best for me. Right now I'm using all Crappie Wizard rods for live bait slip float rigs. For tightlining jigs I use the Bucks or the UltraLite. BnM also makes a variety of other long poles that can fit your fishing style. I would never put down or say anything bad about any other rod maker because there are so many good ones out there. But when you put out and use rods most every day like I do you learn what lasts the longest and feels the best to accomplish your primary goal -- get that thump and land that slab.
