If your heading to the AC Boat Show, stop by the Canyon Reels booth and take a look at the rods we have there. We have both a 6' and a 7' rod, made for exactly this. PB Tuna Fishing!
We have moved away from the faster actions, using a rod more like the so called "parabolic jigging rods" for this type of fishing. ( yes, all rods are parabolic, so this is a term used to describe even curves these days)
The rods we are building are offering a more comfortable experience for the angler, taking the pressure off the fisherman, placing it on the fish. I started using longer rods for jigging a few years back and was mocked by the "jig n pop king" for doing so, but since...... it seems more builders have gone longer in length, including the king himself.
We cant all use shorter rods, so getting that nice slow, even curve in a longer rod has been very popular and working well.
To be fair....
Kevin Bogan has never moved away form the longer lengths... he has stuck by them all along! I want to make sure he gets credit for this!!
Look at the JCT Rods, or the 7' Rods on our site, the shop, or at the boat show. We will also be at The Expo in March over in Somerset too. The 7' rods are being used as far south as Texas, Florida, and all along the Gulf area now. More popular down there, than in NJ because of the hold a few people have on the marketing up our way.
