Jigging rod/reels for lakers&brownies


Recommended Posts

These are "boat rods", but I have been using them on downriggers for a few years now. I like the large stainless steel quad foot eyes as the fleas don't get stuck, lots of backbone with  a very soft tip, one piece blank.
 


Thank you, I have very similar rods and they are great but I heard that spinning rods are easier to use while jigging with the action and drag but maybe I should just use the ones I have? I don’t know.... IMG_1703.JPG

I switched to a 7’3” medium heavy fast action favorite defender bait casting setup with 20lb braid and a 12” flourocarbon leader (p-line cfx 12lb). I find the medium heavy rod handles the 3/4 to 1oz jigs a lot better and is still sensitive enough to pick up the subtle bites down deep.
