TTEL701MMHXB-AGS7'Medium +Extra Fast8-20lb1/8-1oz8+Tip14-1/4"

 

 

I have this rod but haven’t found a technique I really like using it for yet. What would you recommend?

 

I’ve tried braid to leader for finesse jigs, but it didn’t feel right. I also tried fishing Dirty Jigs finesse jigs, but I struggled to get a solid hookset—the fish kept throwing the bait. Any suggestions?

Those exta fast extra soft tips can be difficult to get hooksets with jigs.  If it's anything like the old Tatula 1/8 to 1 oz M powered XF solid tip rod then it would work well with drop shots and ned rigs.  Light wire kind of stuff.

I have the previous model of it, and it's my bank fishing rod because it's really versatile and can throw pretty much everything. Interesting about your hookset problems, I never really had that, using 30lb J-Braid X8 and sometimes a fluoro leader. I probably like it most for small jerkbaits, and small paddletails.

I use mine for light Texas rigs and it works really well
