Tube Jig Rod - 04/06/08 06:19 PM
What kind of rod (length/action) do you guys use for fishing tube jigs?
I was using a rod I normally use for vertical jigging for walleyes up north and I didn't seem to have much leverage for a good hookset.
I'm guessing most use spinning rods/reels for tube jigs but are baitcasters a possibility too?

depends on how you are going to be using the jig.
If I am going to be swimming a jig like a gitzit then i normally use a 7' medium action.
But typically i am fishing a tube T-Rigged with a 3/16 bullet weight, I will be using my 7' medium heavy action with a fast tip.

the rod I've been using is only 6' and it seems as if I don't get enough leverage on the hookset. I've also found that texas rigging a tube takes some practice! lol
Do you peg your slip sinker too?
