I love this rod for everything I do with a jig. I love throwing plastics for walleyes with it, I love throwing plastics for lake trout with it, I love throwing hair jigs for smallmouth bass with it. It is an incredibly balanced rod. It is super lightweight, minimizing fatigue at 4oz.

I like to fish them with a 6oz spinning reel (Daiwa Tatula or Shimano Vanford). Here are the top techniques I use with this rod:

1. Fishes 1/8oz and 1/4oz hair jigs extremely well for smallmouth bass.

2. Awesome Rip jigging rod for walleyes. I love a 1/8oz to 1/4oz tungsten paired with a Charlie Brewer Slider Grub for walleyes.

3. Casting plastics for lakers. I have a number of “secret” plastics I like to throw for lakers. This rod does well casting 1/2oz jigheads.

Douglas makes a phenomenal rod for every application. If I had to pick one to use for lots of applications, it would be this one. Book a trip and field test one this upcoming season!
