ive been throwing a lot of light football head jigs (1/4-3/8). and i need a rod that will load up and cast those light baits far. i currently own cumara MH extra fast and i feel that its a lil to stiff for the light jigs. my friend owns the medium version and its sweet but im not trying to spend 200+ so if anyone knows a rod between $100-150 please mention!

thanks

BPS makes a nice stick called the NITRO. Its on sale now for 99 regular price is 130. I'd reccomend the 7 H/F. Very nice guides and inserts also they hold up extremely well with braid !

Edit: If you are throwing lighter jigs like mentioned above you can downsize the power of the rod to maybe a MH or M

I throw my 5/16 oz. finesse jigs on a Powell 703 or 704 just depending on the length of cast required and the cover.  Great rods for the money, $139 shipped from ***.

used cumara? wait for sale?

i like 3 power loomis' for up to moderate cover and 2 power for the 1/4oz in small rivers targeting bottom structure.

dont be afraid to use a medium in moderate cover. just get some good flouro and get alot of slobber on the palomar knot.

i try to use the lightest rod i can get away with because it makes the fight more more fun and the jig crawling and casting more enjoyable.

The Cara version of this rod work wonders as well.My favorite Jig rod

I use a 7ft MH Shimano Crucial to throw 1/4-1/2oz footballs and love it. I think that it throws 3/8oz and 1/2oz footballs the best but does a pretty good job with the 1/4oz jigs as well.

I've got a Lowrider 7' Carolina Lizard Dragger (7' Heavy, more like a MH) that I'll sell you for $75! PM me if you're interested. I only used it once.

That would be an awesome light jig rod.

Daiwa Light and tough rods are pretty nice sticks in the price range.

This is my recommendation as well.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. But i saved some more money up and im picking up the cumara today.

thanks!
