looking for some ideas on a rod to use to throw 1oz/3oz jig/plugs for stirpers
at the lesner bridge and other places
looking to spend around $65/$85
spinning or casting does not matter:fishing:

can't go wrong with a 9 ft. tica, IMO.

Rod selection

I'm currently using a Sea Striker Contour 6'6" 12-20 LB rated rod w/ a Pinnacle EX35 reel. More suited for Specks, but it does great for Schoolies out here. It's a cheaper model and will rust if you don't lube it up after a few trips. It's served me well so far.

Skunk.

I'll second that 9' Tica UEHA in that price range.

If im tryin' to keep my feet dry... 9ft Tica.

Thats a good deal and a great combo.

Have a 9' Tica, throws 1/3 oz great...

 

[redfish chaser]

hey thanks guys, I already have a 9' tica in the 2-6 range
just does not throw smaller jigs as good as I would like.
I guess I'll be going out tomarrow to pick up the lighter
9' tica I beleive it's rated 1-3oz, may evan pick-up a spinning and a casting version.
thanks again,:fishing:

That 9' Tica light is a great rod for the money.

I really like the the 9' Tsunami Airwave, too.

 

[redfish chaser]

alright great, i'll check out the air wave also.
Any suggestion on a shop that will have a good selection
of both rods on hand around va bch:fishing:

 

[rufus george]

if money was not an issue, i say a rs1266/stella sw 5000. I just wrapped this rod and threw the stellla on. It will cast past the 3rd red light a lesnar. ask my buddy bucket.

Yeah like everyone else has said Tica rods are normally a safe bet. My buddy has a 9 footer that sucker will throw 2 oz a longggggg way, but he also has a expensive reel on it i think it was a Shimano Thunnus

Rod selection

Gregs Baitshack has some very competative priceing. i own a Tica i like it alot,

going low tech; a 7' ugly stick with a penn 4000 captiva aint bad for that range, especially if your putting braid on it.
