3rd vote for the Dobyns DX 784 ML rod. GREAT for football jigs and small to medium swimbaits. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

Not everyone is crazy like me but I take my fb jig serious. I have 2 - 7’1” heavy NRX rods that use almost exclusively for football jigs.

I have went through over 20 rods to find the best football rod for me. The Flacon Cara heavy jig rod is a really good one as many have said, but the Dobyns extreme 784 ML is my favorite right now. The old Powell Endurance 714cef has the best backbone and tip imo, but needs to be about 4” longer. The Powell 775 is a good rod for a good price too.

dobyns Extreme 745 or 784. The deep fishing I like the 784 for the extra length.

Power Tackle...PT FB it is made for football head jigs.
I like the Dobyns 784 Extreme for Carolina rigging.
