Jig Rods
These jig rods are primarily used for ground fishing in the Gulf of Maine and are custom made to order. I do try to keep a couple of E-Glass rods in stock. I use 2 basic colors and a metallic trim band for my shelf rods, but will do the colors of your choice. I can make any of these rods with an "Acid Wrap" but will need to change the type of guides for this, so please call for info. All rods have a continuous under wrap and doubled top wraps. By doubling the top wrap the cracking is practically eliminated. To build your rod takes about 3-4 weeks to complete and ship. Prices are changing daily due to material costs so please use these as estimated prices and I will give you an exact quote via phone or email. My most popular rod is a medium weight 8'-0" E-Glass rod. It has a medium action with a 16" straight Hypalon rear grip, Fuji standard graphite seat and a 10" tapered Hypalon front grip. I wrap 5 Fuji BLRXLG guides and an American Tackle #20 top. This can be wrapped either conventional or spiral (acid) wrap. Line rating is 50lb. with standard butt wrap. $295.00
I'm sorry to say that the Honey Classic jig rod is no longer available. This rod has been made on a Lamiglas surf blank that has to be cut from 11'4" to 8'-0". My wholesalers will not cut the blank prior to shipping and the cost of shipping the fullsized blank makes it way too expensive to build on. I just don't do enough volume to order these direct from Lamiglas. If something changes in the future I will add these again as in my opinion, they are the best jigging rod ever made for the Jeffries Ledge.
My two best are a toss up between the Lamiglass GSB1201M Graphite cut to 8'-0" and the Mud Hole MHX MU108XXH-MHX. These are both graphite blanks are proven for turning large cod, halibut, and pollack. They can be ordered with eith cork or hypalon grips. A low profile fuji Silicon Nitrade II guide is reccomended. $455.00 with hypalon grips and $475.00 with cork grips.
