What setups are you pitching 3/4 ounce jigs with?

Featured Replies

Pitching jigs and texas rigs in coveris my favorite way to catch fish. Mostly stick to 1/4 up to 1/2 weights in both jigs and texas rigs. Picked up some 3/4 ounce weights and jigs and curious about what you guys are using. I think I will probably use my 735 fury with 18-22lb fluoro or my 8' heavy daiwa fuego with 50lb braid or 22lb fluoro. 

7' mh-f bps green extreme currently. Rated to 1.5oz. Keeping an eye out for a 7'h-f avid though. 

7:1 tatula ct with 20# invisx.

Fairly similar to both the setups I listed. Awesome

7'11" St Croix extreme with 60lb braid.

7'4"  Extreme  with 15lb flouro for the footballs

7'9" Megabass Orochi XX Aaron Martins Flipping Special (older version of current Aklys model)

65 lb. Seaguar Smackdown Braid

 

 

I use this set up for 3/4 and 1 oz.

I have 3 setups for this since it's my favorite way to fish.

 

7'11 H Legend Xtreme, 50lb braid (lotta grass)

7'6 H Kistler Helium, 40lb braid (moderate grass)

7'1 H Kistler H3, 17 - 20lb Fluoro (little to no grass)

2 rods:

•Dobyns Extreme HP 7-4 Heavy Fast Flippin Stick

•Kistler Helium 3 Heavy XF 7-3

 

I’m 5-9 Xslow, or I might opt for slightly longer rods ;)

 

Am a braid guy primarily 50 lb, half the time time with a YZH 12 lb leader with FG knot depending on water clarity and patience level..

 

7.3" Heavy Colmic Black Weapon Revenge

9.1:1 Daiwa Zillion TWS

50lb Sufix 832 with 15lb Sufix 100% Flurocarbon leader

7'4" Avid X with 50lb Sufix 832 for 3/4oz Medlock jigs

7'10" Avid X with 65lb Sufix 832 for 3/4-2oz punching setups. 

 

7'4" Daiwa ZIL741HRB

9.1:1 Daiwa Zillion TWS

50lb Power Pro Hi Viz Yellow FG knot to 20lb Seaguar Fluoro leader

 

Not my favorite way to fish though.

3/4 and 1oz. Weights 7-6 heavy/xtrafast flipping stick. 30lb. 832.

Edit: forgot to mention I was using a 7.3 reel with this . Moving to an 8.3 this season.

7'4 H/F Falcon BuCoo

50# PP 

Curado 8.5:1 

 

I will use 20# Sunline or Seaguar fluoro leader but if it's deeper, clear water but around cover I don't worry about it.

 

7'6" H Daiwa Zillion flipping rod w/ 50 lb 832. Feels really good with that 3/4 oz. weight range.

Cara Amistad.

15lb. Sniper

Curado DC

7’4 Heavy/Fast Carbonlight 2.0 Rod with Lew’s Super Duty 8.3:1 Reel and either 20lb Flouro or 65lb Braid depending on the situation.

Sounds like you have a couple of set ups that should work good.  I just like a bit longer rod so anything over 1/2 gets a 795 Flip. I like flouro over braid but that's just me.

The only time I use a 3/4 or 1-ounce jig is when I'm punching.  So my punch rig is a 6'6" Daiwa Procaster rod with an Abu 5600 C3.  I have it spooled with 50# power pro.

I don’t throw 3/4. I am at 1/2oz and under. The heaviest weight I use is 10 grams. And that is “heavy” for me. For things like cranks they are somewhere around 15 grams maybe?

I only have one combo for jigs and worm rigs over 1/2oz.  It's built on an MHX blank ( FS904-W-MHX ) 

paired with a TD 150H  Advantage spooled with 50lb. Suffix 832.

This is the rig I'd use

 

Of my own line-up, the 7' H/F Diawa Aird-X with a Fuego CT-XS loaded with 50# Power Pro is what I'd use. Bought for pitching/flipping but would also be a good heavy jig rod.

Any MH or Heavy flipping/pitching rod should be fine for 3/4oz.  Really depends on where you're fishing them and what rod(s) you prefer.  I use 65lb PP and 80lb PP for my heaviest punching rig.
