    Default looking for a 13-14' rod with a loooong handle


    for jigging id really like a 'livescope pole' that has the reel seat at about 15" on center. id like it to be similar to a lucky13 or b&m's the stick in terms of backbone, just with a longer handle. ive tried several but havent found something thats just right. anyone know of anything?

    I just bought a 13 foot Jenko Kevin Rogers signature rod last week & really like it. It sounds like you may like it. Also the acc crappie stix 13gsm in cork handle sounds good too. I have a 13 super grip & it's pretty sensitive & strong. Only thing wrong with it is i ordered a rear seat & should have got a mid seat. I've used it a lot & like it though.

    Give Ed Dukes a call. He makes some very good affordable rods.

    Would you mind measuring it from butt to reel seat? I’m pretty sure it’s the same handle as the lucky13

    I have the Stick, 12 ft and 13 ft ACC
    The Stick is way too heavy for me.
    ACC are ok.
    Like Les, I have the 10 foot and the 13 foot Kevin Rogers.
    Both have sensitive tip and loads up nicely having enough backbone to boat flip 2 pound plus fish.
    Don’t understand why you would want a jig pole with a butt end any longer than your forearm.
    Don’t think you can go wrong with the Kevin Rogers.
    Good luck.

    I really love the Huckabee 13' Trident . It is a 3 piece rod so you can break it down but still swing them slab crappie with no problem .

    I use a baitcasting reel with a flipping switch. I like to tuck the butt end of the rod basically under my elbow.

    The Huckabee rods have the longest handles out of any I have owned. I have an old Phantom 13’ in garage I am about to sell, will measure handle in the morning for you if I remember.

    Kevin Rogers uses a baitcaster he said for 15 feet or less.
