beertech Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 wondered what everyone uses for jiging mr twisters for walleye . what action length fast or xfast tip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Jigging with plastics i like shorter blanks with faster tips. Im using a 7' quantum accurist right now and like it a lot ( the price was right). Basically anything 6'6" to 7' with a fast/xfast action and a soft tip will be ideal.

Richie Razor Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Shimano compre and crucial 7ft medium with fast action. There are a ton of good rod options out there in this category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoty Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Simax Loca 6'6 MH are one of the nicest rods around. Nice to have the fast tip, with still some good backbone behind it for those Quinte monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beertech Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I own 3 simax rods and like them. Dont know of any stores that carry them at this point though. I loved the quantum smoke i had in my hand today but the micro guides im guessing wont past through the braid to fluorocarbon knots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) My quantum has microguides and the uni to unis go through without an issue...just trim your ends tight lol Edited September 11, 2013 by Joeytier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoty Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I own 3 simax rods and like them. Dont know of any stores that carry them at this point though. Pro J and Angling Outfitters have them in stock right now I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Cabelas XML walleye series Jig & pitch model... They're really great rods... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish4Eyes Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 6' St Croix Avid ML fast action. Medium is too stiff for jigging in my opinion (when jigging away from weeds). It is best kept for ripping bucktail jigs through weeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Field Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Shimano 5'9" extra fast stiff spinning rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adempsey Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 When I looked for a jig rod I aimed for a 6' 3" medium extra fast or fast rod. I got lucky and found a G Loomis WJR 752S 6' 3" medium fast action on sale. It's my favorite rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigreddog Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I've been mostly alternating between a Megabass Kirisame Limited F1-66ZKS (6'6" with an extra-fast solid tip) and a Megabass DirectZ F2-70XSD (7' interline rod with a fast tip), depending on weather and water conditions.

bigbuck Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I have a 6'6 Fenwick Elite Tech jigging rod. Ml action with a fast tip. Love it. I would not go longer than that for an in boat rod. Anything from 6 to 6 1/2 ft in an ml action. Med is a bit too heavy for jigging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though... there's too many good to great options for simply jiggin' up eyes. Hey man, I used 7 foot lightning stick for years as my number one live bait rod!! Good stuff! I still use ugly sticks when I need a rod I can step on! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
