jig rod

[sdv]

I want a longer rod for throwing jigs. I usually throw half once to 3/4 once football jigs and the occasional mop jig. im looking at the duckett micro magic 7 foot 6 rods and dont know if i should go with the heavy or extra heavy since there is no line rating or lure rating for these rods. does anyone have any experience with these two models?

i have that rod it is perfect for what u r doing. super light, good back bone. i would not get a extra heavy.

after looking around a little more ive also began to consider the powell 765 rod being that its the same price as the duckett rod does any one know which is a better value?

It is the only Rod in his series I would consider. I have 2 of these and they are great. They have good backbone, sensitivty and a ton of guides more than any other rod I have and also medium tip. I have it pair with a ardent xs1000 and also a second with a f700. The only thing I don't like about the rod is that they are a little heavier than most, but for 89 bucks you can't go wrong. Some guys really don't like these rods for the color and rip them. I however like them. I like them just as much as some of my $300 and $400 rods because they have their place. They also handle deep crankbaits really well. Especially if you want to nose dip them and get a couple extra feet down on a lure.

I would go Powell rods vs the duckett. Just my input after trying a friends.

[NAKEDSWIMMER]

Powell rods r ok. But if u r looking 4 a light rod, that is better than a powell go w/ the duckett. And yes i do have powell rods. but thats just my opinion.

I would go with a powell 705c or a 734c but thats just me
