So at the spring classic I got a old carbonlite the black model on sale for $70. It was a 7' Heavy I used it as my jig rod. Well yesterday it broke about 3/4 the way up. So I went to BPS and they said I could trade it for any old carbonlite they had. All they had was a 7' MH Fast. Do you think its stiff enough for a jig? My line is 20lb. Pline Copoly. Would braid help?

 

 

Thanks

I use a few different rods for jigs.  #1 how heavy of jigs are you fishing?  #2 What are you fishing them around (rock, timber, weeds) 

 

You can use braid, I use it on everything (mainly 30lb Suffix 832)  with small topshot leaders.  I fish 1/4-3/8oz jigs on a 7'MH Mod Fast action rod, and 3/8-1/2oz on a 7'MH F action rod.  Two different rod manufactures.  I normally fish swimjigs and football jigs around rock and scattered grass.  Heavier cover then I opt to move to a 7'6"MH F action rod which I can fish jigs from 3/8-3/4oz.
