Need a dedicated blade/bladed jig rod (mega/loomis/shim)

[green weenie]

Looking for a dedicated blade/bladed jig rod that will be used with braid mainline. Using an 843 conquest now but seems a little quick with the braid for moving baits. Thinking possibly the Valkyrie 71mh? Maybe the bjr?
Thoughts?

The Megabass Valkyrie 7'1" MH is an amazing bladed jig rod/spinner bait rod. It's definitely one of my favorites and it's soft enough to run braid as a main line. I know you wrote "dedicated" but this Valkyrie is also a great full sized Vixen walking bait type rod, and of course does great with 3/8 and 1/2 oz buzz baits!

Perfect. That makes sense too

If I were looking to run fluoro and using 1/2 - 1 oz, I would consider the Rebellion 7'4" Heavy Glass as well. I also think this blank would allow for braid + leader usage, although it likely won't be as capable walking topwaters as the Valkyrie 7'1" MH

I'm using the NRX 903 and its been working excellent.

Expride 7 2 MH glass is my go to chatterbait rod.. P5 javelin or nrx plus 883 are 2 others I have in my collection that I'll use also...

I love my Destroyer Javelin for bladed jigs. Can launch them a country mile or roll cast accurately. Has enough give to let them load up but enough power to get a good hookset loading up even on long casts. Extremely versatile rod if you want to use for many other techniques also.

I would also highly suggest giving straight flouro a long serious try for a bladed jig setup. Truly the way bass hit a bladed jig is more like a crankbait and you just flat out miss allot more fish with braid as the lack of stretch keeps them from fully sucking in the bait as well not to mention more lost hooked fish. If you are absolutely set on braid then a fiberglass deep cranking type of rod will land more fish.
