    As long as your not in clear water I wouldn’t worry to much about a leader... our water is like a mud hole most of the year so I never mess with leaders...

    Just got my order from Grizzly jig co. I paired the 11ft Jenco with a small spinning reel, and put a fly type reel on the 9ft Ozark. The Ozark with reel weighs under 8oz. it is balanced just right, I can see this combo being my go to this year (love it)

    I am also looking for the lightest rear seated rod that I can find. I've been using the Quantum Bayou Sacalait Special rod that I've had for about 10 years. The tip broke on me about 3 months ago. Grizzly is the only place that I see even sell the discontinued Quantum. They no longer sell extra tips. So I'm going to look at the Bucks Ultralite in 11ft version.

    I have 4 of these B&M rear seat ultra lite coupled with small spinning reel that are lite enough to use for hours and l swap hands with the rod occasionally.

    It's not the numbers or the size, it's the time spent on the water!

    If the rod is tip heavy it will feel heavy in your hand, it doesn't matter what kind of rod it is. I would find what feels best to you even if its tip heavy and then find out how much weight it takes to balance the rod out. Drill a hole in the butt cap or take the cap off and epoxy a bullet weight that size in the butt and patch the hole with epoxy. You will be amazed how this trick can change the feel of a rod. When I build jigging rods I always ask how much the reel weights they will be putting on it and try to balance the rod as best I can. Most flipping sticks I build for bass guys takes about a 1oz weight in the butt. You would think it would make the rod feel heavy but it doesn't.

    This is what I bought and could not be happier:
    MARTIN ROLLING FORK 9' 6'' FLY ROD RF9678 (CRAPPIE, TROUT, PANFISH POLE) | eBay
    I coupled it with a Shimano 500. Barely $50 in the whole rig.
