Looking to see if i can find a good rod for throwing 3/8-3/4 football jigs. Want something around 7 foot and a mh. Anyone got any idea's. I was thinking about trying a Shimano Crucial.

If you shop around and keep an eye on our Flea Market,

you might be able to pick up a G. Loomis IMX MBR844C

for $200. Otherwise, St. Croix Avid AVC70MHF or 70HF.

I use the Crucial 7' MH its a great rod for throwing football jigs of that size.   It's light, very strong, and super sensitive.  It's a great rod for the price.  I even got mine on clearance for $105.  

As roadwarrior said IMX 844 is excellent for this application.You can't go wrong with StCroix 7'3'' Carolina Rig.That's my sweet favorite rod for this.

the kistler magnesium is in the same price range to around $169. Is that rod any good? Never had any kistler's?

You need a dedicated rod for football jigs? Seems like cabin fever is reaching new heights....

The Magnesium series is a really nice rod.  I have used one on several different occasions and it is light, strong and sensitive.  The 7' Heavy model is the one I recommend.  Its pretty versatile.

a dobyns dx 705c is a great rod for thes, rods are normally 249.99

I really like the Shimano Cumara 7'2" MH for throwing football heads.  Light and sensitive!!!

i have three cumara's and love them but they are not setup for throwing football heads.

I'm not sure of your price range, the Mg series is great and should be <$200, if you have a little more in the budget, I would look into one of the 2009 LTA's with the split grip (~$275).   Good luck!
