huskertko Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Would these rods be sensitive enough for fishing jigs and t-rigs. I plan on using it with a Quantum accurist with 50pound Power Pro. I would probably also use it for fishing topwater frogs and such. I am looking at other rods but since I don't fish jigs that much, hopefully more next year, I was looking at these rods because of the price. Quote
Super User Raul Posted November 13, 2006 Super User Posted November 13, 2006 Extreme, if they are for sale at $70 jump all over it. Quote
huskertko Posted November 13, 2006 Author Posted November 13, 2006 They are currently on sale, that is what caught my eye. Quote
Super User Raul Posted November 13, 2006 Super User Posted November 13, 2006 Don 't think it too much, get them in 6 '6" or 7 "; 6 feeters have 7.5" rear hadle, the other have 9" rear handle, the longer the handle the more you can rest the handle on your forearm while fighting a fish thus, more leverage.

huskertko Posted November 13, 2006 Author Posted November 13, 2006 I definately wouldn't get a 6 footer in a rod that I may be pitching jigs with, not enough leverage. Thanks for the input on the rods. Quote
lubina Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Extreme, if they are for sale at $70 jump all over it. Agree. I have one in 6.0 M that I use for jerkbaits in shore fishing, it is one of the most confortable handle I've tried. Like the other said, for jig minimun of 6.6 better a 7.0 Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted November 13, 2006 Super User Posted November 13, 2006 I fish jigs and soft plastics with both Extreme, and Bionic blades, both rods are sensitive, strong, and well made. The sensitivity edge goes to the extreme as they are made with higher strain graphite, the are also a tad lighter and faster than the Bionic blades too.I use 7' rods of both series for jigs and soft plastics Quote
phisher_d Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 I have a 7' MH extreme rod that I use for all of the techniques you mentioned. It works great and doesn't break the bank. Quote
volpster31 Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 i own 2 bionic blades & highly recommend them...but i think the extreme rods have better features & there on sale.... i think the bait monkey has grabbed his next victim!!! ;D ;D Quote
