Thanks for the input guys. I will check those out.

Hello All, Just wondering if anyone has found a stout EWG hook for the 3.5" SK Coffee Tubes. The Tube Body is so short on this tube that any stout hooks I find seem to be too long. Thanks in Advance.

Thanks Guys, The reference to bending a pipe/2x4 make sense so I guess I may be looking for a slower action with more power. The SJ736 is one of the most sensitive rods I own but you are correct in that I am looking for a beefier rod. I will check out that link and the other models you reccomend and let you know what I end up doing. Thanks

Thanks all.

Thanks. I will check out the specs.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what CC data power value is but I found the SJ 736 would bend almost parabolic all the way to the reel seat on hooksets. Also if I had to pull a jig through cover the rod needed more backbone as the tip would flex/bend too easily. Have you ever fished any of the NRX or NRX+ Models 854/873/894 ? Those are more of the power/action I am looking for but prefer a 7'2-7'3" length.

Hi All, I'm looking for some input on an NFC jig rod blank. So far of all the blanks/rods I've handled the power/action I am looking for is similar to the following rods: *NRX 873 *NRX+ 873 *Even Though These are 3 Power/Medium Heavy I feel like they fish closer to Heavy Rapala Concept TI 7'2" Heavy Fast I'm lucky to have a friend who builds rods and the first blank we bought/tied was the X-Ray SJ-736-1 but it is way to slow/soft for the applications I am looking for. I terms of length/action I am looking for something 7'2" to 7'3" Heavy/Fast Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi All, Just an avid fisherman from up north that mainly fished steelhead in rivers until my friend sucked me into Bass Tournament Fishing rabbit hole. This site is my saving grace when the water freezes and I start the agonizing countdown to the open water season. Hope to share some ideas and get some information here. Thanks
