What does everyone use to flip & pitch jigs? I lost my 7'11'H Rage rod and am about to buy another rod.
I'm thinking about another 7'11'' Rage or a 7'10''HF Legend Tournament but I want to know what everyone else is using.

It’s always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6

A jig rod is probably the only technique rod I think that is important, other than that I'm fine with multi purpose rod. The weight of jigging a heavier jig, in my case bucktails and butterflys, will put my back into a world of hurt using an inappropriate rod. I have heavy for spinning and xh for bait casting gear.

I just bought a Loomis BCR875 for punchin. That is what I am using now. I had an opportunity to handle a Loomis FSR904X GL2 last week. When I get the money, I will be getting the IMX version of that rod and it will replace the BCR875 for punchin.

For light duty pitchin, I am using my Loomis MBR 844IMX.
