I personally like and have the Diawa Elite rod...but I also have a Lews rod for it as well. Both work out great, when I'm dragging a jig around 1/4 oz.

Fasts tip, medium heavy unless its more then 15 feet deep. Then up the power on the backbone a bit. Like go from 8-17 to 10-20pds

Good info here! I broke my finesse jig rod a year ago, and have struggled to find the right replacement.

Falcon “Weightless Worm” model works for me. Lowrider or Cara line depending on budget.

I use a Falcon Cara Head Turner. The Bucoo Finesse Jig rod is a great bang for the buck. I'd at least give them a feel before making a purchase

I believe the Expert series replaced the Caras. Forgot about that since I still have Caras and haven't got any of the new series yet

dang the expert version of the 6’10 seems to be a heavier power than the cara though on tackle warehouse it says they will get more caras in october

I use a nrx 853 for finesse jigs or even a 852

Re: Finesse Jig Rods - 09/30/19 09:50 PM
nrx might be a little steep for me

When the NRX first came out there were reel seat issues but that has been long since remedied.

My #1 choice for finesse jigs would be the Dobyns 743c F/H. I absolutely love this rod for lighter stuff. http://dobynsrods.com/rod/dx-743c-fh/
I have mine paired with a Diawa Tatula 100 and they feel as they were made for each other.
