Spin JIg rods -Speed Jigging

Spin JIg rods -Speed Jigging

 

Our newest 2 x piece (Spiggoted) 7 foot bespoke rods for Spin / Speed Jigging. We think you might find these more suitable for UK waters. The Spin Jig rods are primarily designed for the increasingly popular Speed Jigging technique using lures specific to that method.

However, with their 7' length, light weight, comfortable handle and through action combined with excellent lifting capacity, the Spin Jig is equally at home with conventional pirking techniques for bass, cod and pollack.
Likewise, these rods can also be used for "Hopping" with short traces and leadhead lures when specifically targeting cod.  The Spin Jig can be used with multiplier or fixed spool - just make sure to specify which type of reel you use at the time of ordering.
For more info, There is a 2 paqe review about these rods in this months (March) edition of "Boat Fishing monthly". Photographs courtesy of Des Westmore.
