"Best" Jig rod for 1-1.5oz jigs

[freelancer27]

Hi all,

what are you guys thinking is the 'best' Jig rod for these types of lures? For me best is defined by:

A) Sensitivity
B) Balance of the rod
C) Weight of the rod
D) Casting accuracy

I am currently running the Daiwa Steez XBD Frog Rod rod as my dedicated big jig rod. And I am pretty happy with it. I am playing around with some ideas to move the Steez to become my dedicated frog rod (since my actual frog rod is a bit underpowered when throwing a frog on mats and into cover).

So, just curious to see what you guys would think is the best here?

Thanks & Cheers!

NRX916C for me.

Megabass 7'3 F8 Faust. Top tier sensitivity, balances great.

Edited because I didn't see you needed up to 1 1/2 oz my bad:

I would look at the 895 NRX, but it will be a tip heavy rod...I think the 905 conquest would be better because of the balance.

Going to try a CNQ 905 this year.

2019 Z-Bone 5H 7-6. 1oz-1.5oz in the "sweet spot" The XBD Frog rod is a good choice, but the Z-Bone is more sensative.

Dobyns DX HP 745C or 746C for me....

The 905 Conquest is awesome! Balances very well with a Metanium MGL. Currently have a Curado 300 on mine and it doubles very well for throwing A-rigs and will be a great jig rod in the range you are planning to throw.

Designed specifically for big jigs. Best looking jig rod to boot. There happens to be one for a steal in the for sale section..

Thanks all.

Will stick with my Daiwa Steez XBD Frog Rod. Should serve me well for this year at least!
