Blackfish Jigging Rod
I'm sure this topic has been covered many times, but I'd like to throw it out one more time...I'm looking for a blackfish jigging rod to pair with a stradic FK 2500. I've tried both the trevala s 6'6 XL and 6'3 L with the reel and both felt good but I'm curious about other options.

Re: Blackfish Jigging Rod
I just picked up a ghost hunter spinner from jigging world. It's super light. Mainly to be used in kayak. Will report on it next week after I get a few bends in it.

Re: Blackfish Jigging Rod
The slow-pitch jigging style rods are good, but I prefer a faster blank for shallow tog jigging. Shimano Zodias 7' M or MH is a great rod, but the new Expride A is worth the extra cash. Super light and crisp blanks that translates into lightning fast hooksets, and super sensitive so you can feel that "right bite."

Re: Blackfish Jigging Rod
Faster lighter blanks the way to go ! I've always preferred a med power FT conventional blank using bait . Bait n jig technique I prefer the spin set up !
A 7' -7.6 ' med power extra fast taper spin outfit , translates into a a very solid set up for this fishery . What many miss here is the rod construction , mine all have 9" + foregrips to allow u to hold the Rod in front of the reel , this dramatically lightens the tip weight & notifies u of the slightest hit , which can translate into solid hook sets when coupled to an ultra fast taper blank . The rods I use fit this bill perfectly truly the lightest fastest I've ever seen anywhere ! I've only taken smaller fish on them so far up to 11#'s but it was no match to move n land these fish w/o issue.

Re: Blackfish Jigging Rod
Like I said super light but super tuff. Tog up to 19 inches on 1 oz jigs in 12 foot of water.
Rod doubled over and it was great. Fun fun fun. My buddie lost a big one in the rocks. To light a rod..... operator error...... who knows. It happens. Definitely would recommend this rod for shallow water fishing.
