NEED A NEW JIG ROD HELP!!!!

[bcorral]

Hey guys I'm new to the forum but it seems like the guys on here are well informed. I work at a tackle shop and fish bf's local tournaments etc. Im trying to find a new jig rod I'm not really pleased with the one I have now so I sold it any advice?? Im fairly partial to gloomis glx and nrx series but I've noticed that megabass usa has some awesome rods available so I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks!!

If you like the MB rods Orochi F6 Destruction is great. I'm also partial to the BCR series of GLX rods from Loomis. 864 for heavier cover, 803 or 853 perform very well in more open situations, but can handle moderate cover also.

I haven't personally tried a megabass rod but everything I'm reading makes them sound like the best thing since sliced bread lol. I'm very tempted to just buy the destruction and see how it goes but then again I've gotten burned many times buying other rods and always end up going back to my faithful glx's.

If you haven't read the review, please do so. I bought mine based on it and am very pleased with the purchase. The rod is pretty amazing. I don't believe I've heard a negative comment or review on the Destruction. It's fishes great for bottom contact baits.

Megabass rods are awesome. What kind of jigs are you fishing? Around what type of cover? Line size you'll be using?

If u are partial to loomis, The GLXMBR844c was one of my all time favorite rods... right now i'm using a Phenix Recon 715c. It's pretty bad ass. A crazy Megabass Jig Rod is the Super Destroyer. It is a power house. It really all depends on your style of fishing.

Thanks a lot for the insight guys, and basically I'm fishing on Lake Lanier deep water main lake structure brush piles etc. So I need a rod with enough ass to drive one home in deep water but also be able to stick one up shallow and drag it in like right now when they're on bed I really need a powerful sensitive all around jig rod.

I am loving my Phenix Recon C715. Great rod at a great price.

you like your recon, rob, but i fished my 715 k2 last weekend and it was out of this world for jigs!!!

MY recommendation would be to have a k2 715 blank custom wrapped for your jig rod, bcorral. the rod is very similar to the glx 844. a little slower in action but, i think, more sensitive.

The Dobyns DX784ML is a great jig rod for deeper water, but the MBR844 GLX is really hard to beat for a standard all around jig rod. I've caught them shallow, deep, you name it with that rod. Not as great as the 784 in deeper water though.

the mbr844glx is a classic. i'm kinda disappointed in myself that i sold mine. on the other hand, it would probably just sit on the rack these days cuz i would fish my phenix k2 or my steez more anyway.

still, it would be nice to have back. that rod caught a lot of fish.

Dobyns champion extreme 745

I'm also a big fan of the GLX and NRX rods... I've had the opportunity to fish most of the new X4 lineup at this point, so if you have any questions about them, feel free to send me a PM. I agree with USA-RET - the Destruction is a sweet rod among many sweet rods in that series. It's nice that they now offer a 3 year warranty on these now

Kistler Zbone LE 7'6" five power is my go to jig rod. If you like GLX rods, I think you would like the blank. It isn't as beautifully crafted as my Megabass X4 but what non JDM rod is. I don't have the Destruction but sure would love to try one out. You can't go wrong with a Zbone, Megabass, or GLX. Tough choice.

I use my Phenix UMBX-703XH for fishing Jigs it has the back bone to drive a hook home. I use it also for throwing my frog on mats and grass.

The DX784ml in the Dobyns line is in my opinion unbeatable for deep jig fishing. I own a few just for that purpose. Another GREAT all around open water jig stick is the DX 704. Depending on what you are looking to spend you can also go with the 704c in the champion series they are very sensitive and well balanced, I jigged with them for a while before I could afford to upgrade and had no complaints at all.
