I use a 6'-10" All-Star Team All-Star IM-10
TAS 827C Pitchin Stick 6'10" Extra Fast Heavy

I really like that rod. If I didnt already have that I would be looking for an equal Shimano rod.

Can't go wrong with the Vendetta (abu garcia) either. Great rod for the price!!

I was thinking about spending 150$ or so? I was looking at the Bass Mojo, or the St Croix Avid.

I've got 4 carrot sticks and no problems yet. I bought the first one as soon as the came out and still have it and use it every time I fish. I love all of mine. They are as light as you can get and they've held up well for me. I actually swim a jig with one of them.

I think all of the rods listed are good quality rods but it is all about personal preference. It took me awhile to find a good jig rod. The one I use now is a 7'9" extra heavy carrot stix and I wouldn't trade it for anything. In spite of being so heavy it's still very sensitive and if a jig gets wedged in something a good hard pop usually gets it out. With other rods I'd have to just break it off. I've had 5 or 6 carrot sticks and have yet to break one. In that price range I'd also look at the St. Croix ( already mentioned) or a kistler magnesium.

I've got a Kistler also and love it.

I depends on the cover I'm going to be fishing in. If its grass, I'll use a heavy with a fast tip. If its wood then I'll use a med. heavy with a fast tip.

I am not a rod expert, but I fished my new BPS Carbonlite, 6'6" MH with a Citica 200E and 14lb BPS Floro all day yesterday with Senkos and it is one incredible, light, strong rod. Totally effortless all day. I wish I had gotten a 7' instead. They are on sale now for $10 off.

cutbait88 · « **Reply #17 on:** May 22, 2010, 01:57:58 PM »

my uncle has a few carbonlites and loves them i like my 7'6 mojo pitchin rod its a medium heavy fast tip ive got a quantum accurist pt on it spooled with 65lb braid and i threw my jig on it all day today and my arms dont feel like they are gonna fall off like with some of the other jig rods ive had its also great for swimming a jig
