Thread: meat dragga VS dipping ?

No the dippin rod is a much lighter action.

Dippin - light act 10ft
Draga - med heavy 10ft
Pulling - med heavy 11ft

Meat dragga is a much heavier rod. If you've ever seen a salmon/steelhead type of rod you'll have a good picture of what it is like. I believe they are actually made off of salmon/steelhead blanks. Not 100% on that though. The dippin stick is very light action. As my dad says, "The tip will move if a mosquito lands on it".

Thanks EB I was hoping you would explain.VH

Thanks EB for describing the rods. The Dipping rod is used for vertical jigging with lighter baits. Meat Draga and Pulling rods can handle heavier tackle (1/4 oz plus an 1/8 oz). Additional information is at toddhuckabeerods.com.

There isn't another 10' or 11' rod made today or yesterday or next week that can compare to a Huckabee Rod. I have a few other brands of rods but they just draw dust. I use the Meat Dragga and Pulling Rods with 2-1/4 or 2-5/16oz jigs all the time depending on technique. These rods handle the big baits and jigs and do not have the tip bend of a wimpy rod that puts arm and back strain on you from the weight after fishing with them all day. If you go with a Huckabee you will never go back.......Ranger

I used my new meat dragga with Todd Huckabee 3/29 next to my B&M Duck Commander which was also new. One outing and the commander is retired! The Todd Rod was so sensitive and enough back bone to handle a 50lb Blue Cat in my opinion. When the slabs hit you lift swing unhook and are back in the water in 20 seconds. I got home, made a call and bought two more Monday evening. Even with my Garcia bait cast reel attached (which is just for line storage only) I fished all day and never got tired holding that rod. I caught all my crappie on it and one 2.5 sand bass on the B&M. As Mark says, once you use a Huckabee or as I call them a Todd Rod you will not use anything else. Worth every penny.

Mark, when you EB and odie double dip. Are both jigs the same weight, if not is heaviest jig on top or bottom? Thanks

Hat, most of the time mine are the same weight. But if I do use one heavier I always put it on bottom. I also never use less than 1/8 oz jigs.
