There are a lot of rods brands that work very well for throwing a football head jig and some are more sensitive than the Power Tackle rod. Power tackle rods are bullet proof as far as durability but not as sensitive as some other brands. Last edited by ezbassin; 12/09/20 01:04 AM.

To me that is the most important aspect, those big fish don't usually hit hard, they just suck the bait in and spit it out quick... Plus fishing around stumps, it helps prevent getting hung up as often if you can feel the difference. PB 10.58 Joe Pool

I think it's more sensitive than my IMX rods, pretty close or equal to a GLX and for the entry price of only a couple hundred bucks. While I do enjoy my NRX, if they were stolen/destroyed I'd replace them with Zodias or maybe even some of the Lew's rods.
