Jig rod
 

Hey everyone, was wondering what everyone's preference is on a good/great jigging rod and what reel to go with it. I just tried bucktailing which i've never done before for the first time last week, (trying something new). Looking to purchase something just for jigging. ANY THOUGHTS? Thanks

John

Are you leaning towards a spinning or conventional outfit?

For fluke I love my St Croix Avid Inshore 7' H Casting rod. It handles 8oz bucktails no problem and the sensitivity is unparalleled. I have it paired with a Shimano Calcutta 400B.

I'm looking at the shimano type J .

Hi Jerry
conventional i'm leaning towards, unless i'm convinced spinning is better.

i'll take both opinions if you have something in mind.
thanks

I have a 7 foot fish poison rod with a canyon hs 15 on it it is my go to rod for buck tails up to 6 oz and spring and summer sea bass jigging

Everyone has their own preference but if fishing bucktails you will be much better off fishing braid as you will be able to fish lighter bucktails do to less line drag when drifting and be able to stay more up and down then using mono where your line will scope out much more. When buctailing braid is the way to go
