Thread: Jig pole?

Yea the dilemma for me is i prefer the bgjp but have had a half dozen front half replacements and several other rods that differentiate in length from being re-tipped. The ozarks are just too wippy for me but im ready to try something diff so may cave and try it.

I use the Grizzly Elite from Grizzly Jig. They come in 10', 11' or 12'. I fish lots of cypress and lots of pads during the summer. Great sensitive rod with enough muscle to swing fish in the boat and I am constantly jabbing the tip into the jig to get it unhung from cypress roots or pad stems. I did break a tip once about 7 years ago but no rod will take the lid of the Rod box being slammed on it. Last one I bought was $49.95 for the 12 foot if I remember correctly.

The 11' jig poles are far from wimpy. The 12' are like broom handles but too heavy. I know the light weight 10' are not stiff enough . I have some of the 12' front halves for the Buck's jig poles I would sell ,

OZARK has TWICE the backbone than the BGJP.!!!!

Ozark rods are great! If you want something stiffer, try a Todd Huckabee rod.

If wanted anything stiffer I'd go to a 12' Ozark but that thing almost like fishing a broom handle . I checked on Huckabee Rods and looked awful pricey.

I fish an 11' Ozark in each had jig fishing . Try landing a slab on both poles at once .
