1043, Jig Rod
Posted by cst, Wed Jan-11-06 11:21 AM
After reading Rob's article a few times i decided to give jig fishing a try. I wasnt expecting much so i went out with my Calcutta inshore series CLC-X80M and 10lb test on a TD Advantage Supertuned. first day out, i only brought one jig with me and caught a bass fairly early at a local lake. few casts later i snagged the jig and went back to fishing roboworms. a few days later (yesterday) i went back with a few more jigs and walked the hole lake casting to lilly pads, docks etc and caught a few more fish and now im in love with jig fishing. I also learned an expensive lesson about the gear i need to use. i went through 8 jigs, 4 of which snapped off during the hookset and the rest were snagged. I also had a 10lb bass make quick work of me when it took me through all the lilly pads. So now that im home i've been thinking of what rod to buy. St Croix makes a good product and it was also suggested by a friend so right now im looking at TBC66MHF / Jig-N-Worm and the TBC80HMF / Flippin' but im also willing to buy a rod from a different company.
so i was looking for a few suggestions on rods. thanks.
