Recently acquired this rod and my intent is using as a wacky worm rod, BUT I was wondering if anyone has tried fishing any lighter wire jigs with this rod?  Thinking something like a 3/16 or 1/4 jig plus small trailer....  Would that be a little much for this rod?  Would the Med Light be enough to get a good hookset with the jigs?  I'll be fishing with either 10 or 15lb braid so that might offset the lighter power a little bit i'm thinking.  

This does not have to be a jig rod for me, just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience with this particular model and lighter wire jigs?

Thanks!

I just tied a small 3/16th ounce jig on my 6'9" ML Villian yesterday. Saying that I've heard that Abu Garcia runs on the heavier side of power and I'd say the Dobyns is towards the lighter side. It may be a hair light but you should be able to fish 1/8th ounce tube jigs okay.

I'd probably agree that my other Dobyns feel just a touch lighter than other rods with similar specs.... that said, this rod feel fairly true to the ML rating to my uneducated hands....  I might just have to give it a go and see if it works for me.  I much prefer fishing the jigs on my casting rods, but sometimes the need to skip it on up under some gnarly brush or docks comes into play and a spinning rod is where i feel most comfortable for that.  may just be the wrong tool for that job though!
