Decided I want a jigging rod

I was fishing at a lake from the bank yesterday and was doing my best jigging with a 6'6 but I would have to almost hover over any cover then I thought, what's one thing I dont have? A long jigging setup.

My wife says I dont NEED anymore combos, but this is something I dont have anything like. Convincing her of another baitcaster is hhaarrdd Haha. But something I dont have anything like is another story.

That said I know BnM are good but that's about it. What to use for a reel? 10 foot, 12 foot, what power rod??? I know literally nothing about long jigging rods.

I guess I need to add, after looking online, one that takes a reel. Not just a rod you tie a length of line to.

I have 2 Denali 10 foot jig poles and I like them a lot. Nice and light. I ordered them from Grizzly Jig.

I use ozark 10’ rear seat with a mini bait caster! Love it! Bucks best ultra light rear seat is a great one to!

I use a 11 ft. BnM Duck Commander double touch....rear seat with a Mr.Crappie Solo reel.....love it.

I've got an 8'6 fly rod I use half the time to jig with. I bet if i got some 1/64 oz jigheads i could cast with it. Maybe i will try that. I talked to a guy that uses crappie magnet jigs on his fly rod.

I have B&M Sam Heaton Super Sensitive rods in 7’/9’ and 11’ with the 9’ as my favorite. I have used many other brands but feel these rods cannot be beat for jigging (although the 7 footer also is a casting rod).

Only true "jigging" outfit I use is a Sam's Super Sensitive 10' rod with a UL Shakespeare Alpha spinning reel. I do have another 10' rod (Huckabee Dipping w/Mitchell 308x spinning reel) but I use it as a "short" rod in my 13'-14' Pushing rod spread. It's action/power is a bit stiffer than the Sam's SS.

Jigging rods don't need big reels, since the reel is just a line holder/retriever.

Now I need one:biggrin

I have a 10’ SHSS with the rear seat and it’s comfortable and tougher than one might think. Hauled some nice fish with it. I tried several different reels before I found one that balanced it on the spot where you touch the blank. Now it’s effortless to hold for long periods of time while you dip and search. Point is, don’t decide on what reel until you find what makes it balance right.

I have a 10 and a 12 foot rod with spider webs on them ,,,,,,just saying :Rofl

Since you are in Broken Arrow go by the Falcon store and try one of their slab series. I have the 12ft Medium action, it has become my favorite pole and the price is right.

Starfish is where I got my Huckabee Dippin rod from .... good dude !!

I have both 7' & 9' SHSS rods (Grizzly Jig) that I not only jig with, but cast and troll with as well. Matched with a Pflueger President #6920 (no need to go larger, IMO) these rods do very well. (I use braid for my main line with a 4' fluorocarbon leader for the abrasion resistance.) I never went longer than 9', but then again we fish for crappie a bit differently up here. :)

10' ACC Crappie stix with a lew's reel on it. I liked it so much I went and bought a short one for dock fishing. :Rofl

Grizzly Elite 9'6"

I also use a 8'6 fly rod as a jigging pole coupled with a Shimano Sienna 1000 FE spinning reel and I fish it mainly with the crappie magnet (my favorite lure.) I preferred using thicker 10# mono with the fly rod because it has less tendency to wrap around the long fly rod when compared to 4# or 6# mono. I mainly pitch with the fly rod but can cast with it from my kayak.

I do have a fly rod but I've kept it stock. I have jigged with a wet fly before. But I ended up getting a Shakespeare Crappie Hunter 9' light. I like it alot!!

I use a 12ft Berkley Crappie Pro rod most of the time. First appearance it seems flimsy due to the small diameter but the tip is solid carbon fiber. A great rod for only $40 bucks

Oh wow. $40 for carbon fiber, I'm suprised! If I ever need a 12ft rod I know what to look for!
