Throw 24 more dollars in and get you a Mega Bass Levante, they have 2 or 3 rods that would be great for jigs, the Perfect pitch is one of them. arent these the same rods that Megabass had to recall? They have an all new line of them out now, i think there are 12 rods in the lavante line up, I have 4 of them , so far they are great.

Or the Heavy Cover Jig...or the Flipping. Both are good choices. But gotta be a Low Rider at that price point.

I do like the irod genesis rods or you could purchase two heavy Ethos (the blue ones) rods from Academy for $170. Just as good as many $150 rods ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/04/full-30144-91468-8c81a606_7d29_4b1b_af9e_42cf229b8f5d.jpeg)

I'd throw a tree branch before I threw a Dobyns...
Falcon Lowrider is what you're looking for Wow, what do you not like about the Dobyns rods, and which Dobyns rod are you referring to?

There are a couple Low Riders that would fit your needs for sale in the classifieds right now.

Falcon Lowrider is what you're looking for Wow, what do you not like about the Dobyns rods, and which Dobyns rod are you referring to? I’ve tried Dobyns too. I gladly sold two of them for a little over half of what I paid for them, then returned the last one without a receipt and was happy to get $49 credit! Horrible rods, IMO. These were the green ones(Boom Boom) ..about $219 each and one Fury that was $129. They were dull, “lifeless”, tip heavy, and heavy overall. I caught a few fish with each one...all of them gut hooked because I couldn’t feel the bite with those rods. I hope everyone I fish against uses them!

I own 3 or 4 Dobyns champions and like them. They are definitely not the most sensitive rods but the fish down south bite harder and fight harder than any Bass in Texas. They are over his price point though.

Just sold a Falcon Amistad to buy a Lowrider Heavy Cover Jig. Hoping it is better equipped for 1/2oz and below jigs.
Amazon had it for $122.
