i think its a man law :rotf2::rotf2::rotf2::rotf2:


that being said...its way louder than anything i will ever own.

A pretty good but inexpensive jigging rod is the Ande 5701A MH, 20-30# sold at #^&#^&#^&#^&s for under $50. I've got it paired with a Daiwa Saltist high speed with 65# power pro. It's had no problem with Tuna to 50#, big blues, 20#+ stripers and wolf fish, and assorted cod and haddock.

Soft enough tip for jigging with plenty of backbone for lifting.

Can it lift 22-24oz Roger?

My guess is it can.

Can it lift 22-24oz Roger?

It might be a little light to properly work a 24 oz jig. I've never gone that high. A buddy using the same stick was using a 14 oz crippled herring and it seemed OK, but close to the max.

If you mean 24 oz sinker with bait, it should be no problem -but I haven't used that much on mine so I can't say for sure.

There is plenty of backbone, but since a good jigging rod needs some tip flex I don't know of any that will be best for 5 to 24 oz. For vertical jigging, this rod seems best at 5 to 14 oz.

if u want a good jiggin rod, dont buy a tuna stick and think it will work like a jiggin rod . i have same rod .. andy 20 to 50 it has a different work load than a good jiggin rod.. get the wright one first or you,ll end up paying twice

You're talking a different rod, the one I described is 20-30 not 20-50. I've used it only for jigging, caught lots of fish and I'm satisfied. Then again, maybe I don't know any better, or maybe I do ;)

What do YOU think is or makes a good jigging rod?
---never mind, I just re read the posts and noticed that your trying to sell your $$$ rod.

go for it bud ...use what u think is wright .had no plans to sell rod but i would , dont use rod any more , because i fish cod w/ electric reels w/ bent but rods, o- btw i been comm. cod fishing (for money) sense 1978 out of chatham. from hand lines to gill nets to electric rod n reels .... pulled many of tons of fish off the bottom ,, how many tons have u got w/ your andy rod >>>>

easy folks.... no need to get hostile. Its probably a typo or something.

So which rod would you recommend stiff tip? it needs some backbone because I like the biiiiiig jigs. 20 oz. and such

had the rod built for heavy cod jiggin ..no b/s ... very stiff rod w/ pullin power for very deep fishing 8 to 26 oz jigs... now .i would use 60 or 80 lb test tec line ...before tec line i would use 60 lb wire on a different jiggin rod to get dwn 300 + feet w/ a 26 oz jig and would stem the tide when the current was running ,to stay over the pile of fish... it was a long drop to the bottom and a long hall to the top....thats why i like electric reels..... tajon what rod ???? take a look at both .u tell me. both rods are for work fishing ... meat sticks .. dont hurt to look..... dave...

Although I'm not familiar with that particular ande rod, I would look at something rated much heavier for big jigs in deep water. I like 20 oz pipe jigs even when the current is light, but that's just me - I like to meat fish. 20-30 rating is way too light for big jigs (no offense just mho for what its worth). One of the local guys (roger jarvis) wrapped our cod rods, so i couldn't tell you a model # or anything, but they are fiberglass 30-50 blanks. you'll want all the backbone you can get for jigging and braid makes it easy enough to feel a haddock tap even if you're using a telephone poll.
I would shy away from the levelwind - that's what thumbs are for, after all its not like you're throwing plugs. You can't go wrong with the old standby 113h, but I might look at something with a high speed retrieve if I only had to buy one. The newell is nice (and lighter)for about the same $$, and the torium 30 is on my own christmas list, but will run about $160-180.

I bought a custom Cod stick last year and absolutley love it. Its a Lamiglass 96H ( 8 foot ). The stick alone was pretty pricey ($300) but very worth it.

Calstar 700XXH and be done with it :D
