Blackfish Jigging Rod

[reason162]

The slow-pitch jigging style rods are good, but I prefer a faster blank for shallow tog jigging. Shimano Zodias 7' M or MH is a great rod, but the new Expride A is worth the extra cash. Super light and crisp blanks that translates into lightning fast hooksets, and super sensitive so you can feel that "right bite."

Faster lighter blanks the way to go ! I've always preferred a med power FT conventional blank using bait . Bait n jig technique I prefer the spin set up !
A 7' -7.6 ' med power extra fast taper spin outfit , translates into a a very solid set up for this fishery .
What many miss here is the rod construction , mine all have 9" + foregrips to allow u to hold the Rod in front of the reel , this dramatically lightens the tip weight & notifies u of the slightest hit , which can translate into solid hook sets when coupled to an ultra fast taper blank .
The rods I use fit this bill perfectly truly the lightest fastest I've ever seen anywhere ! I've only taken smaller fish on them so far up to 11#'s but it was no match to move n land these fish w/o issue.
