I want to hear what y'all have to say about a dedicated all around jig/t. rig setup, money is of no issue cause I am just playing around/researching right now and not looking to buy something anytime soon. My current jig rig is a G. Loomis IMX MBR 843C 7' MH with a Curado 200E7 and suffix 832 #20 braid w/ approx 15 feet of Seaguar Invizx #12 floro as leader. My soft plastics t. rig rod is a G. Loomis NRX 802C 6'8" M XF with a Core 50MG7 and #12 Seaguar invizx florocarbon. I absolutely love both of these setups, but was thinking about trading the NRX in for the MH version (803C I believe). What do you think?

My all around Jig Rods/Soft Plastics - 853C GLX, and 854C GLX.  I personally like a 7' rod though, but these are my two "go to" Jig/Plastics rods.  - Ci4+ on the 853C and 50MG on the 854C.

My favorite rig is a GLX MBR842C/ Core 50MG/ Tatsu #12 dedicated to swim jigs and small, soft swimbaits.

However, I think the tip is too soft for bottom contact. These are my traditional jig rigs: GLX MBR844C/ CTE

200GT/ Tatsu #20, BCR854/ Curado 200E/ Kanzen braid with #20 Tatsu leader, BCR893/ Curado 50E/ Tatsu

#12. I will probably replace all of these over time with the comparable NRX version.

If you want to send one of those replaced GLX's my way, I wouldn't complain 

My jig setup is a 7'1 croix LTB with a lews tourny pro spooled with #20 tatsu

t rigs setup is a 13 *** 7'1MH with a CI4+ ( as soon as ups brings it lol)

Mine is a 6"8 mh fast action st croix LTB with a Lew's tournament mg 40# power pro 12-15 pound fluoro leader

T rig is a 723 endurance with a steez #12 fluoro

Jigs is a 723 endurance with a zillion #50 pp

For jigs in the 1/2 to 3/4 range I use a Dobyn's DX745 paired with a Chronarch Ci+ (usually for brush jigs) with 20# Sunline

For jigs 1/4 to 3/8 i use a Lamiglas Infinity 735 with a Lew's Tournament Pro with 14 to 17 lb flouro

Football jigs I use the Power Tackle Football Jig Special which is a 7ft6 MH paired with a Curado 200E7 and 16# Sunline

Dobyns DX 744 or Dobyns 735C. Both with Lews TP's in 7:1 spooled with #50 braid and usually a leader.

BCR854GLX......I have a couple of them and they are always with me!

 

Reels are Shimano 7:1 or higher.  Right now is a Chronarch 200e7 on one and a Metanium XG on the other.  Might try my new ci4 on one next.  I am always experimenting!

OUCH!

I have a sinking feeling that I'll be a poorer man by year's end...if you get my drift

NRX 873 / fully customized TDZ 100m / 12# Tatsu

Megabass Orochi xx EMTF / Shimano Scorpion 1000xt customized / 12# Tatsu

Dobyns dx742 / fully custom TD Alphas / 10# Tatsu

These are my 3 heavy hitters seeing the most use though I will use a few others as well when needed. Combos are listed from most powerful to the most finesse. Will never part with any of these!

Darn!   With that kind of budget there is no sense in me mentioning what I use for jigs.  I'd be laughed off the forum.

HA, this is where I usually will spend money on a rod too..bottom contact.  Even though an ET or Aetos probably is just fine.  It's just that when I first bought the GLX I was like in "Heaven" on how it feels to handle and even better to fish with.  I am hoping to convince my wife for my birthday to get me a NRX 893C, what she is saying now.  Sell some of your equipment, I looked at her like she was a blasphemer asking me to commit a sin.

Me too. BUT.............I bet you I catch just as many, if not more jig fish on my "junk".

I think "catching" has very little to do with equipment, but it makes the other

99% of "fishing" more fun. That said, gear "might" compliment a fisherman's

skills, but whether that marginal difference is worth the price is a personal

matter.

1. Dx 745 with zillion 50th high speed and 20 sniper fluoro

2. Dx 744 with chronarch d7 and 15lb sniper

3. Big stuff gets my soon to arrive dx 746 with zillion type r and 65 pp braid

4. Football head jigs and deeper water stuff is the DX Mike Long jig rod and 50th zillion with 17lb invizx

This is great guys, let's keep it going....and it doesn't matter if you have "junk" gear as someone said earlier; it took me some time and a deployment to build the gear I have up from a Zebco 5'6" combo rod  . If it works for you then that's all that counts!

Well my "junk" as I stated before is:

 

Shimano curado 51E spooled with 20lb Power Pro braid, and a 12 or 15lb flouro leader on an Abu Garica 7' M Vendetta...........I use this for 3/16, 5/16, finesse jigs.

 

Abu Gen 2 Revo. STX, spooled with 30lb Power Pro, and a 15,17, or 20lb fluro leader on an Abu Garcia 7'6" MH Vendetta.........."GP" jig work with 3/8-3/4 oz. jigs

 

Abu Gen 1 Revo STX, spooled with 50lb Power Pro, and a 17, or 20lb flouro leader on an Abu Garcia 7'6" H Vendetta.............heavy cover, flipping and pitching jig work.

Doesn't sound like junk to me....

Allstar ASR w/ BPS Extreme, 20# Invisex - Jigs only

Custom on a St.Croix blank w/ 1st. gen Revo S, 50# braid - all punching

Dude, my most expensive rods are IMX´s, I used to own a GLX and I swear, other than a slight difference in weight I felt absolutely no difference between it and an IMX .... I don´t think I will ever replace my IMX´s for something more expensive like GLX´s or NRX´s, if I can´t feel the difference I see no point in spending 100+ bones in upgrading. For spinnerbaiting, crankbaiting n´such I fish with GL2´s , so don´t feel bad, wanna know something ? I can whup some rear end using a beer can as gear.

Primary jig rod -Powell Endurance 714, Lews Tournament Pro - 30 lb Spiderwire Ultimate

Powell Endurance 764, Lews Super Duty - 50lb Spiderwire Ultimate

And I will use lighter jigs and light swim jigs on Powell Endurance 723, Lews Team Pro with 30 lb Spiderwire Ultimate.
