As the title states, just wanted to hear some good advice on rods with braid while jig fishing, so; what rod do you use with braid when jig fishing (not pitching and flipping). Need to get a new one and wanted some advice from experience.

Cumara 7'2 MHXF

Lamiglas 734C (7'3" Medium) and Shimano Compre 6'10" MH XF have both worked well for me.

Are you in the market for a spinning rod or baitcasting rod?

Kistler Helium LTA 7'6" Heavy. fast action. the better to horse em outta trees with

G. Loomis MBR 844c GLX a GREAT jig rod. I love it.

St Croix avc70hf

Powell Endurance 714C

G. Loomis MBR 844c GLX a GREAT jig rod. I love it.

Ditto except I actually like the IMX version, same model number, better for jigging. Always afraid I am going to break the GLX model for some reason while jigging. I also really like the older Quantum Tour PT 6'10 Heavy action rod for the real heavy and thick stuff, just has a bit more power to get them out quicker, but they changed the rod this year, made with cheaper parts now.

Dobyns Savvy 735C

I use a skeet reese tessera Jig/worm rod

Gloomis IMX 844c for 3/4 and 1 oz jigs

Gloomis IMX 843c for 1/2 and 3/8 oz jigs

Kistler rod.

Dobyns 704 and 734.

Either a QUANTUM TOUR EDITION PT PTC666F or PTC706F both w/30lb braid.

I use a 7'2 cumara MH/fast rod for casting and dragging 1/2 oz football heads and love it.

Lets see, my two primary jig rods are a Cumara 7-2 Medium Xfast for 1/4-3/8 and a Loomis NRX 854. I also fish the 7-2MH Xfast and the NRX 852 and 853 a lot as well.

That said, I don't fish jigs with braid at all, ever. I have braid on one flipping rod, and one frog rod. That's it. In every other case of fishing a jig, I use Tatsu in 15 or 20.

I like my Dobyns 734 for fishing jigs. I LOVE my Dobyns 805C for fishing jigs.

Thanks guys. I am in the market for getting another jig rod next soon and this helps a lot to hear experience and what works. Now, the hard part will be narrowing it down. At least i know my confines now.

Dobyns 704 or 735, depending on the weight of jig
