Need New 1/2 Oz Spinnerbait/football Jig Rod?

[TRSmallie]

I am needing a new rod that I primarily throw 1/2 oz spinnerbaits with and occasionally 3/8 to 3/4 oz football jigs. Any suggestions other than get two rods?

Thanks for any input?

Look at the Falcon Cara Reaction series. They make a 6'4" MH with MF action, 10 - 20 pound test, 1/4 to 1/2 ounce bait that might work for you. Short eough to target cast spinner baits in trees and brush, but long enough to throw and fish a jig.

In my opinion the 6'4" is not enough rod for a good hookset on a FBall jig...Just my opinion. I have thrown both on a G Loomis 7' MH (MBR 843) although not my first choice for either (but I have quite a few rods)...If you are fishing mostly open water, I would look at something 7' in length and MH in Action, then let your budget make decisions from there.

I'd step it up one and get the Gloomis mbr 844c. It does a better job for me on that size than my 843c rods do.
