Good jig rod $100-$150

Suggestions on a solid jig rod between $100-$150? I know there are tons of high dollar rods out there, however, that's about where I need to stay price wise. Thanks for the suggestions!

The Dobyns Savvy series 735 is a great rod for jigs.

Take a look at the Phenix Maxim series. I've used several different brands over the years but have yet to find a rod in the $110-130 price range that's better. The 7'3 Heavy is my choice for 3/8-3/4 ounce jigs.

A little more than your posted range, but the Savvy Series is quickly becoming my favorite. I have mostly Falcon Cara rods and really believe they are fantastic rods, but with price increases the past several years they have forced me to look at other brands with comparable quality.

Another great thing about Dobyn's is the "no hassle" $60 exchange policy. Broken rods can be a pain to deal with. Keeping up with receipts, shipping to and from manufacturer, replacement fees, being told the break was due to "abuse". The idea of simply walking into Angler's Pro Tackle, paying $60 and walking out with a new rod is much easier to deal with.

Here is the rod suggestion i would make:

There are numerous Dobyns pro staffers on TFF who will gladly answer additional answers should you have any. Hopefully they will chime in soon.

Hope this helps you out.

Dobyns Savy 734. Perfect tip for up to a 1/2 ounce jig and plenty of backbone to pull fish away from cover.

I'm using a Duckett Micro Magic Pro 7'6" Heavy for my jig rod.

Me too.

Falcon Lowrider 6'10" medium heavy. Priced right.

I've got a couple of the Falcon Bucoo (with micro guides) 7' H Lizard Dragger. At least pick one up when you go looking and give it a feel. You can buy em at Academy for $99

Thanks for the input, I know it is a little out of my price range, but I am leaning towards to Dobyns 734.

Do-Nothing I think the 734 Savvy is only 159.00 the Champion 734 would be about 259.00 The Savvy is a good rod I have few of theses.

Either the Duckett or Dobyns Savvy would be your best bet. Both are excellent rods for the price.

That's what I meant! I am going to go with the Savvy!

Falcon.

if you are around fork in the next couple weeks let me know I have a 734 Champ and a 735 Savvy you can fish with to see if you like the rods and I believe you will.

Thanks, I keep my boat at Fork, but don't think I will be up that way for awhile. I coach HS baseball, so this time of year is pretty busy!! Thanks for the offer though, I wish I could take you up on it!!

Well let me know when you are coming I can get with you and let you try them out if you want.

I have caras, power tackle jig rods but for jigs 3/8 and smaller I pick up my bucoo I love it.

don't do dobyns

Dobyns Savvy SS 734C or SS 735C


I personally like the SS 734C better.

Since jig fishing can result in bigger fish I would spend a little more and get a good rod. I was using a Falcon Cara Amistad but have recently bought a jig rod from Reel Time Rods. I love it. Give them a call and talk to Ron. Mine was $210 but well worth it in my opinion.

Good buy on the Duckett micro magic here right now. $100 to your door. To me these are more sensititve for a jig than my Dobyns Savvy . The Dobyns Champion series is better though.
