Looking For A Quality Jig Rod

[Travis Swift]

if you want a resonable rod I like the trout magnet sore lipper series rods. They are $35 and are 6'6. I love mine for throwing magnets, jig and cork and straight jigs with 2 pound test.

Phil is as good a jig fisherman as can be found on Taney. Go by his place and buy what he uses.

Excellent point about considering the reel as well. Don't get a good rod and put a crap reel on it.

You forgot to tell him to put NANO on it Ham..... Phil sells a great rod.

6 lb Nano is the bomb diggity for trout or panfish. I'd use P Line CX Premium for a leader. Awesome set up.

I have used 6 lb Nano for bass as well, but I'll probably stick to 10 lb in the future on reels that I intend to primarily bass fish with.

7' BPS Microlite in Medium-Light or Light action ($50)

Pflueger President 6925 series spinning reel ($60)

Pline Fluroclear in either 2 or 4# test depending on how clear the water is

The light action rod works well with 3/32oz and lighter jigs. I'd prefer to have a medium-light for 1/8oz though.

I have a used St. Croix 6'-6" light fast action with a Pflueger President reel. Real happy with both. I use this combo for jigs, cleos, spinners, you name it.

I think that should be a great combo.

personally, a 6' Loomis GL2 with pflueger president reel is the ticket for me...

Shimano reels are fine as long as you don't them wet. Then they tend to get a little hitch in their get along. I've bought my last one and will be sticking with Lew's speed spins or Pflueger's from here on out.

I'm in agreement with Rick. I love Shimano rods and baitcasters, but I'm more than done buying their spinning reels. They may eventually fix their problem, but they lost me as a spinning reel customer forever.
