What power rod do you guys use for jigs and Texas rigs? I've been using the mossyback Loomis rods for my Texas rigs and Carolina rigs and a Dobyns champion 733 for jigs. Just curious to see what everyone else prefers.

It was recommended to me by a Dobyns pro staffer that I go with the 704 for jig/t-rig fishing as the 703 had a softer tip and was more a finesse rod. That is, in the Savvy and Champion lines. He recommended the 705 in the Extreme series. I went with the Champion 704 (should arrive today).

Power Tackle PG104 is the the greatest rod ever made. Also the PG104.5 for hand to hand combat

has more to do with actual weight of jig or weight--not the technique. I fish a finesse jig a lot. I fish it on a medium rod. I wouldn't even attempt to cast a football head jig on the same rod.

The best flipping jig on the market!
