Proper Rod Action for Jigs

There is a trend among rod manufacturers to build faster and faster blanks. It seems like a few years ago you couldn’t get a true “fast” action rod while today its hard to find anything less.
For a lot of applications in the bass world that was a great transition. Unfortunately, it has wreaked havoc on unsuspecting fisherman trying to fish a jig.
I hope this video sheds a little light on what I believe to be as close as you can get to the “perfect” rod for fishing 1/2 oz and heavier jigs.

I hope my insights into rod actions make sense to you. Is this something you’ve noticed? Or do you completely disagree? Either way, leave a comment, I’d love to hear what you think.

Pitchin' Jigs

Catching big bass is one of my passions in life. Most West Coast fisherman look to the swimbait for big bass but in truth, many of mine come on the jig. Day in and day out you can’t beat a properly presented jig.
Throughout my years of jig fishing I have fine tuned my techniques to what I would like to consider an art. I truly believe that paying attention to a few key details is the difference between catching jig fish and catching BIG jig fish on a CONSISTANT basis!

This video is the beginning of a series on fishing jigs in a variety of conditions. Please provide feedback on any jig related questions you have so that I can cover them in future videos.
