What kind of rod do y’all like to use for a Carolina rig/jig rod? I’m thinking a 7’4 Heavy Fast Lowrider. Is that a good action/power? Never have thrown a C rig and want to get into it. Would also like to double as a good jig rod

Falcon Cara Heavy Cover Jig Rod or Dobyns 784

Long and fast tip. Flouro 17 or 20 braid with a 15lb flouro leader. Don't overthink it, you can use the same rod you would use for a jig. Pick up favorite rod, and just use it. Confiddence in a rod goes a long way.

Have been playing with a new GLX. But going back to Reneau Tackle. She’s building me a LPC 580 in 7’6.

A Dobyns 734 or 744 are good ones also.

Falcon Low Rider is another good one.

Have 2 rods rigged this time of year. GLX 894 jwr and a NRX+904

Just remember that with a longer rod you’re dragging it further with every move. If you never have fished rigs start with a shorter rod to start.

I have two of them and use them for everything but their intended purpose.

I'm waiting on my back ordered Cara Heavy Cover Jig rod as we speak... Plan on doing a dragging with it this summer... Dan

I use a 7’3” Falcon Lowrider Amistad for c-rig. I use the Falcon Lowrider 7’2”’heavy cover jig for jigs. The 7’2” can work for a C-rig too, I just prefer the longer cast with the Amistad. They fish about the same.

Falcon Amistad Cara. It's a good all-purpose flipping rod as well.

You notice a difference between a 7’2’’ and 7’3’ rod in terms of casting distance?

Us texas boys can you northern guys just drop it in a hole.
