What length, action, and weight of rod do you like for jigging raps in open water? I be been using a MH 7’ baitcaster with a fast action. Just wondering what works best for everyone else?
Anything that is 6'6-6'10 in ML. I like to have a little whip action. I tried a MH and I thought it was too firm for my liking. Does anyone else foul hook them a lot? I have hooked them in the side underneath there head and everywhere in between. I figured it was the darting action but maybe I just suck at it.
I do what ahab tells me to do. Then I get frustrated when I don't get the same results. Then I get voluntold to clean 23" fish in front of some angry locals.
I demoed a couple of JT Custom Rods this summer. Besides one factory defect on the black reign, the entire lineup was pretty well suited to a jiggin rap. I personally use my 7' MXF scheels walleye series rod most of the time. Ahab is correct, powerpro will wrap around your tip top a lot. I will be using mono going forward.
