There is a point where the length will adversely affect casting distance. Otherwise the 20ft rods would be more common with modern materials, but they are not.

    Another good point was brought up about the load of a rod. A rod will only transfer as much energy as it was designed to load and rebound. Extra force will not make a difference in the amount of force transferred.

    In regards to blank weights. I have found different data. The Orvis Helios 8’6” 4wt is 1 1/8oz. The Sage Z-Axis 8’6” 4wt is 1 3/16oz. Maybe I have wrong data on the blanks. It just appears to me that Orvis is lighter in that specific rod class.

    Good find on those blank weights. Everything is right around the same ballpark on the higher end blanks as far as weight goes when you get into that $250.00 an up range. Thank you WaterBound.

    All I gotta say is that the NEW Phenix rods (Iron Feather and Mirage) are both the best rods I have ever used. You can actually feel the difference on your mini jiggs hitting brush or a fish hitting the jigg... Been fishing these 2 rods for about 2 months now.... Boy they are GREAT!

    Here's a good link to read up on the new Phenix rods...

    Maybe we should have a get together to compare all our fav jigging rods - factory and custom. Would be a fun event and we would all probably learn valuable info.

    Hey guys
    What do you think about using one of these crappie rods for trout. I want to learn to jig for trout but didn`t want to spend 150-200 bucks on a rod until I am sure I like it. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/st...002000_100-2-4
