What line are you using ? What size jig heads ?
Ok this may be the dumbest post I’ve ever made but bear with me. Also not a bashing thread.
I recently bought a tree thumper 10’ rear seat and like the balance and feel of it.
i have been using 1/16 jigs and tubes. The issue I’m having is the line doesn’t want to travel out the rod. It seems to be worse after the rod get wet when getting a jig unhung. I can’t tell if it’s a eye problem or line problem. I have gone through 80 yards of line cutting back to see if that is the issue.
the rod is rated 4-8#so I would think 6# would be fine.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I’m at a loss on this one.

I say it is drag....
Either add more weight with a heavier jig or....
Dip the jig into the water and sweep the rod, the resistance of the water will help pull more line out.

The rod has 8 guides on it. I tried searching this on the internet but haven't seen anyone mention it. That's what has me questioning the issue.
The rod is "designed" for pitching jigs around trees I would think it should toss a 1/16 all day.
I think it is more of a dipping rod! I bought one 3 years ago and haven't used it yet, but only for dipping when I do get to go fishing!

I use 6 lb stren on mine and have no problem that I've noticed. It has become my favorite. I use a 1/32 oz jighead but fish 6-10 feet deep exclusively.

Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and one that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

Baitcast or spinning reel?
