Members Ccox1982 Posted August 29, 2014 Members Posted August 29, 2014 Ok guys, I jig fish with a Fenwick Ellite Tech River Runner. It's 6'8 ultra light with a fast tip, 2pc. Love the rod, no problems and it performs great for my likings. Got a few of them. Been looking at the G Loomis GL2 720S Trout jig series. Anyone jig fish with this rod and do u like it? Also, anyone else throw the River Runner?
Ham Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Lots of ways to skin that cat. I'm mighty fond of my Dorber OMT 84 UL rods. It says UL but it ain't no buggy whip. Your farming buddy does very well with a rod that I consider WORTHLESS for jig fishing. Apparently it is not complete worthless for that just worthless when I try to jig fish with it. I also use one of Richard Cross's CrossFire rods. I have a Fenwick Elite Tech River Runner headed my way alledgedly, eventually. It is a warranty replacement from Fenwick They didn't make the model I purchased anymore. I think I got the Light instead of an Ultra Light. I'm going to use it for a Ned rod though NOT a trout rod. There are several of these threads about trout jig rods. My luck using the search function varies. You might want to look at those if this thread doesn't provide the answers you seek.

Members Ccox1982 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Members Posted August 29, 2014 Thanks Ham. Yeah, my farmer buddy did a walk through at the ole boys place in Flippin that makes the Dorber rods. He didn't have any on hand for jig fishing. He's supposed to give JP a call when he gets some ready.
Ham Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 That's the main downside of the Dorber OMT's. The limited production runs. Often the entire production run is spoken for before they are made. MY buddy who got me started on these has dibs on 4 of the next batch. One of which I will buy from him. I hope to fish with JP one of these days. He can try one of mine and make sure he likes it, but if he buys one and hates it, I'll buy it from him. I'm not at all convinced that he's gonna like it, but I LOVE them.

Members Ccox1982 Posted August 30, 2014 Author Members Posted August 30, 2014 It's gonna b hard to get that G Loomis SR 720 out of his hand. He loves those rods, and I'll give him credit when I say he can rip the lips off those trout. Hopefully one of these days I'll get a Dorber in my hand and see what it's all about.
Lancer09 Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 , and I'll give him credit when I say he can rip the lips off those trout. Well that's not good. How does he catch them if they have no lips?
