Bottom bouncing - jigging rod
Submitted by Rusty w on Wed, 2012-12-19 23:14
Hello all. I am a recent new member to this site but have been following it for a while.
Im after some advice or opinions on a good rod that can be used for mainly bottom bouncing for dhuies etc but also a bit of jigging. I am chasing a rod for a threadline outfit. Most of the fishing I do varies in depth from around the 30m up to 110m. Ideally I run 50lb braid on my reels and like a rod that has a fair bit off play in it and not to stiff. Eventually I want to start doing a bit off jigging also for sambos and the like.
To start with I was looking at a rod around the $300 mark.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers

I got an old t curve deep jig 200 for just that. nothing fancy.
If I spent half as long fishing , as I do reading this bloody forum , I'd be twice the fisherman I am.

excellent rod for what you want to do. I have landed some great fish with mine bottom bashing and sambo jigging with it. I have just bought an o/h jigging outfit so will be selling my t curve if your interested send me a pm. happy fishing

I use a blue water ugly
I use a 24kg bluewater ugly stick with my okuma Salina, works a treat and not too pricey either.

ve got 2 of these on stella 8000's and i havent seen a better allrounder rod for bottom fishing, trolling and jigging very forgiving too (ive lent mine to numerous mates while on my boat and they dont break easily).
