I was looking for some data on some of the rods mentioned in this forum and came across this. The lure weight listed on the rod converted says it is 1/283oz to 1/8oz. My #10 wooly buggers flies weigh 1/126oz. Read in one of the stickys threads above that stated 1/250oz. Can anyone tell me what I don't see.Attachment 381716

Max 1/8 oz. My friend ultraslab has one. Very good bream and crappie rod. I have the Rockin' Power, just a tad more backbone, 1/4 oz max. No big deal since we mostly use 1/32 or 1/16 oz jigs. 1/8 oz only when real deep + windy.
I have beat it to death, caught many big fish including my PB bass, and it still works great. Ticts are tough. TICT@-ƒeƒBƒNƒg-
I can understand the upper range but not the lower value. The 1/283 is almost impossible. Dry flies weigh more than that. Thanks for your reply.

The lower end rating on Ajing-Mebaru rods is not a casting rating. It is the rating of the lowest weight jig you can feel the resistance of. The Tict Rockin Finesse is a Mebaru rod.

I have a Rockin' Finess -- very sweet rod. As Mr. Tek says, it's very good for crappie and gills. The lightest bait I have ever cast is a 1/64 oz trout magnet.
Jawjatek is wrong. I don't have one but 2 . My personal favorite of the 3 JDM rod's I own in casting and catching fish. The triple cross being my favorite dock shooter, have an N-one ( hope that's right major craft ) that's good not great but the ticht is FUN to fish with and have no prblems casting a 1/64 jig with 2 lb. line. Sco
In my opinion, I can do okay with 0.2 g jig head plus the tiniest microworm. It is not great at that lure weight. 0.4 g jig head plus a tiny paddle tail is quite good. Tried 1 g jig head plus a trout worm and it flies like a bullet. All with 1 lbs ester line (0.074 mm).
I am considering the Rockin Finesse to add to the stable....not sure I need it but I do hear good things all around about the Tict lineup.

Good morning s_v. Where do you get those 1/142oz jig heads from. I would like to get some. My wooly bugger flies on # 10 hooks weigh about that. Are your jigs made from fly hooks with very small brass beads? Thanks for your comment.Sent from my SM-G960U using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:

Are y'all really talking $500 rods? If not, how much are they and where do you get them?
Thanks so much for this information s_v. I never seen these before. Have used many OWNER hooks mostly bass fishing. Those are also excellent hooks. They certainly appear to be of very high quality.Sent from my SM-G960U using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:

You can also order directly from Japan.
Fwiw, Wapsi offers their Super jigheads down to 1/124.Quote:

LV you will like the Rockin Finesse... really nice rod for the money!
Yes VCM ever since I acquired the Teton and a lower end jdm Majorcraft XUL ( I have Randy Aka Alphahawk to thank for this one..lol) several years ago, I've always been fascinated to try a higher end UL rod outside of my usual Lightning rod, Fenwick, and Shakespeare Micro serie staple but before I came across threads posted by folks here I wouldn't know where to point my hard earned dollars to but ebay in search of this highly regarded rod! Oh btw ebay sellers are asking over $350 plus tax on one of these. Base on what is said here i have no doubt it's gonna be one sweet rod!Quote:
