Tog spin jigger recommendations

[Pete21]

Looking to buy a tog spin jigger for the north shore , Connecticut, Rhode Island. I prefer less than 7' but at least 6' . Looking for factory and possibly custom suggestions. Hopping to spend less than 300.00. Thanks

I have used a GLoomis E6x Inshore 7' MH, Black Hole CB 701L that I built, and a North Fork SW768-1 that I also built. All have performed very well. So far I have handled 8# fish on both the loomis and BH without any issues. Just built the NFC, but based on late fluke season it should be a big winner as well. I fish NJ, so take that into account, but there are a lot of guys using M/MH freshwater or inshore rods with great success as well.

Less than 300 bux? Sure, how about a Tsunami Evict 2000/3000, with either a Daiwa Proteus M or MH, Or a Harrier slow pitch MH? The Proteus will cause an over-ring of maybe $25, but is a very nice stick.

If you can still find a Shimano Trevala S in MH, though discontinued, it is also a very sweet piece indeed.

Love my little Evict 2000 to death. A truly great mid-priced reel, with all stainless steel internals.

New IT&T Board Feature - Hands-on Tackle Reviews 2019-21

Hi all, so as I mentioned on the "Reels" board earlier today, we are gonna be starting up a tackle review feature on this forum. George and I think this has the potential to help a lot of guys with their rod/reel and tackle selection - what works well together and what doesn't. What we are...

Thanks everyone , I have a reel already. 3000 Penn clash that I love. Just want a rod. I'm leaning towards the 6'6" Maxel jigging rod. Or possibly Thinking about the grappler. Is the grappler worth the extra $$$$
Lep I have the Harrier now and want something a little better. I fished a friends Proteus and not sure I liked it. Felt awkward to me.

The little Grappler Type J I use is a serious upgrade from a Harrier. Its only my opinion, but I feel its well worth what Shimano is asking. Nothing awkward about it. Not to me. You should go look at it. Bring your reel.

Gonna get the nexus mh blank and have causeway build it. I don't like the slow pitch type action, like something a little faster

Sounds like a great choice. Just be aware that the Type J Grapplers are not slow pitch rods. That would be the “SJ” series of Grapplers. The Type J’s are faster than the SJ’s. Like a Nexus, I believe.

Was able to get a good deal on a factory nexus mh Spinner . Seems really nice , gonna give that a go for a while and see how I like it.
