My favorite jig pole is the Elite but when using livescope wanting extra reach hard to beat the 13' Phantom . If water is clear and fish spook I have even opted for casting with a 9' Hot Rod . I never used anything but jig poles till livescope showed me how many fish spook when water is clear or boat slap from higher wind causes waves to make noise . Whichever length rod you like all the Huckabee rods tough , yet sensitive .
