Swim jig rods

Birdman2136 — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 14:37:20 +0000

I saw there was already a topic on swim jigs but mostly covering technique

I’m curious what rods in the JDM realm are a must have or highly suggest trying

I haven’t really nailed down a true JDM enthusiast style swim jig rod.. for the longest time I’ve just used the Zodias 610MH with good results but that rod was a casualty on a trip last year

I played around with my Tulala 67MHC with decent results towards the end of the season, but not sure if I like the length for swim jig fishing

Thanks

Anyone using this juggernaut? I know its not the biggest but its big enough and I dont know how to explain the action or even if florida bass will try it post cold front but i always imagine a day on the water like Mr. Paul Elias

Going Deep with Cranks

Goldrod — Mon, 07 Jul 2025 22:03:09 +0000

Im in florida, so deep is relative but the place I went to had depth of over sixty feet. I brought with me mainly cranking set ups and I had the Daiwa Z on the 7'11" St. Croix glass cranking rod.

well I did catch a fish but I dont count him because he was not hooked in the mouth so I dont know how I foul hooked a bass in 18-22' of water but still. After a few cast with various lures such as the DT14, xD 6 , duo G87 and some others I was really trying to get the hang of it and learn the technique. Needless to say I bird nested the Z and pulled off all the NEW 14lb floro I had on it..

Talk about waiting for a long time it was painful.

I tired a technique i have seen on here with small jigs in deep water but it was just not to be.

I almost packed up but I had my 7'4" st. glass rod on it and I swapped out that reel to put on the longer rod. and things worked out somewhat it was really a lesson on the water today

came home early , even the wife didnt expect me home this early but the sun was brutal..

Not what I was hoping for but I am getting better i guess.. sucks cause I know the big girls saw my lure going by..lol

I've tried the Deep X 600 but this DuO Realis 15a is pretty decent to retrieve and the casting is a blast.. this is my First deep cranking fish.. I just had to keep reeling.. I am glad that something bit but I know there has to be bigger ones in this gin clear lake
