Best Jig Rod

Looking at to upgrade to a decent Jig Rod... 1/4oz-3/4oz and possibly Flipping (Mainly Jig)

Only exception is I really prefer FOAM over CORK (Durability)

-CASTAWAY SKELETON V2 MAG MED HEAVY?
-DOBYNS- ANY SUGGESTIONS??? FURY or OTHER???
-DOBYNS 766 FLIP ANY GOOD? Cork but maybe worth it...

ANYWAY-THANKS YA'LL!
Sorry if this has been asked a Hundred times...

Falcon Cara Amistad micro.

If your looking for the best Powertackle PG104.5 all there rods ran with foam handles

Loomis GLX or NRX

Dobyns Champion 744 is an awesome jig rod

Falcons... Cara Amistad or Cara Mike McClelland Heavy Cover

Power Tackle PG104

7'4" Heavy, Fast action, everyone has their company they prefer.

I am a Dobyins fan so my vote is either the 744 Champion XP or the 755 you have listed. That is my ultimate rod for flipping and pitching even though I am only 5'8" tall. GREAT ROD for the money. I use the rod for all my flipping and pitching. I have not tried the 765 Fury rod but it might be good too. Hope this helps. Tight lines keep safe and good luck.

My go to jig rod is a Dobyns DX 784 ML.

KO bass...I'm right there with you!

No best, just what in the end you think will fit you...check out the Major Craft 7.3H MS1. We designed the rod with jig flippers in mind. Stout rod with all Fuji components. Double footed Fuji K frame guides all the way to the top. Power handle for leverage in getting those bass in the boat. Lightweight and super sensitive. We have one you can try out. Thanks

Falcon bucoo heavy jig is foam and inexpensive $99+

A lot of ya'll saying Falcon I really like Falcon and affordable too

I found a "Lightly used" Dobyns DX 784C marked down to $180

Not sure retail but sure feels good!

I did notice what appears to be a fairly heavy metal weight on the rod Butt?

Never seen this on a rod before-is this standard on Dobyns?

Thanks

Powertackle PG104 FB Jig Rod! you said the best.... there it is. I have had the same one for 3.5 years with no faults!

The best is what feels "best" in your hands. I have several NRX rods but I use a NRX 893 and 894 for jigs and t-rig, far more sensitive than any other rod I have had, buy once cry once, YMMV

That's a good deal. $349 retail on that rod.

And yes, they have a metal butt cap.

Power Tackle 104.5 would be a real close 2nd!

I actually use the Castaway you refer to for my flipping rod only because Judy at Power Tackle told me the 104 doesn’t like braid and I wanted to use it. But I do use the 104 to throw a football head jig.

Power Tackle 144 if you want a 7ft jig rod, Power Tackle 104 if you want a 7ft 6in rod. I have yet to figure out just how they number their rods.

G.Loomis NRX JWR 854 is my go to jig rod.

G.Loomis 894

Powell Max 3d or Edurance 736C

I love my Dobyns DX 744,745 & 746, HP's. Just pick what power rod you need for the technique or conditions. The Champion series are grat rods too. I know you did'nt want cork but if you get a chance pick up one of these rods and check out the quality of the cork used and how it feels. I'm sure you'll like it!

Power Tackle rods have foam handles, many of the other rods suggested (are good jig rods) but do not have foam handles.

Dobyns 744 & 745 work well for my needs

The one that has a strong backbone and strong enough to hoist the fish out of cover.

dx 784c is my favorite Dobyns and I own 16 of them.
