Where at in Tulsa ??

What weight of jig heads do you use with either rod?

Depends on technique. When Pullin jigs I use 2-1/4oz or 2-5/16oz and the same when dead sticking down the bank. Have also used them as light as 1/16oz as well.......Ranger

Wow, I had no idea. Now I understand why those rods would be handy. Most rods can not handle 1/2 oz total weight unless they are a bass rod. Thanks

Like I said everyone has their likes and dislikes. For me it being able put big jigs and baits in the water during high winds and rough water and catching slab crappie. You can't do that with a wimpy rod that would not even make a good buggy whip. I use them, believe in them, and own all 3 models. Don't know what else to say except when most guys are hanging it up and putting the boat on the trailer due to to much rod action from weather conditions I am still putting them in the LW. Nothing is more unnatural than a bait flopping in the water up and down 6" to 10" from rod movement. Ok I am done....Ranger

Hey I like the way you tell it like it is. Never cared for mincing words. Your insight is very helpful!
