Elevate Your Jigging Game with Our Top-Notch Casting Rods

Jigging casting rods to buy online are meant for bait casting, and jigging spinning rods are not. Many people don’t realize that the two rods are different, the reels that will attach to those rods are different, and it’s important not to confuse the two!

Spinning rods are much easier to learn to use than jigging casting rods for sale, because baitcasting is an acquired skill that needs to be practiced. Beginners are typically advised to start their angling adventure with a spinning rod and then make the jump to baitcasting once they’re decided they enjoy the sport and want to try different options.

Jigging casting rods prices will compare with jigging spinning rods, so what’s the difference between the rods? Jigging casting rods have the reel mounted on top of the rod. Spinning rods, in contrast, will have the reel mounted beneath the rod. The eyelets through which the fishing line goes are therefore on top of the jigging casting rod, and on the bottom of the jigging spinning rod.

Jigging casting rods may be cheap or expensive, just like any other rod you might be interested in purchasing. If you’re a serious angler, you may purchase several rods and have different weights of line on each one so that you can fish for different types of fish simultaneously.

Jigging casting rods to buy online are, as the name implies, specifically for jigging although you can use them for other types of fishing as well. Jigging casting rods manufacturers carried by J & H include Black Hole USA, Daiwa, Maxel, Penn. Phenix, Shimano, Sloopster, St. Croix and Tsunami.

When learning the art of the jigging casting rods for sale, you’ll probably have problems with “backlash” – the line getting tangled inside your spool. This happens to even the most experienced anglers, but it happens to beginners most often. Don’t let this discourage you, eventually you’ll get the hang of it. Backlash happens whatever are the jigging casting rods prices, too. It’s a matter of technique, not poor equipment. Jigging casting rods may be cheap and reels may be inexpensive also, but they’ll do the job once you acquire the technique. (Having said that, technology continues to improve so one day backlash may be a thing of the past. Until that time – practice your technique to solve the problem.

Jigging casting rods to buy online are manufactured from the latest high-tech materials and incorporate the latest designs. Take a look at our complete line today.

Jigging Casting Rods | Frequently Asked Questions

Purchasing your first jigging rod can be hard, especially if you're new to fishing altogether. Bass fishing, for example, will not be the same as trout fishing or crappie fishing.

Here, we will provide you with a list of things you must consider before buying jigging casting rods.

What Does Jigging Mean in Fishing?

"Jigging" is one of the oldest and most effective fishing techniques. In jig fishing, the hooks get attached to artificial lures which resemble smaller fish; this is to attempt to lure your target fish. With the right jigging technique, you will be able to get either a small or large fish with heavy power.

When you "jig," you will use a vertical motion to attract the small or big fish.

What Is a Jigging Rod?

A jigging rod (also known as a jig pole) is a rod type designed specifically for this type of fishing. They're designed to keep up with the jerky and vertical motions needed to attract fish. Sensitivity is a primary point of jigs since, without this factor, it will be much harder for you to hook some fish types.

Is a Jigging Casting Rod the Same as a Jigging Spinning Rod?

Jigging casting rods to buy online are meant for bait casting, and jigging spinning rods are not. Many people don't realize that the two rods are different; the spinning reel that will attach to those rods is different, and it's important not to confuse the two!

Spinning rods are much easier to learn to use than jigging casting rods for sale because baitcasting is an acquired skill that needs to be practiced. Beginners are typically advised to start their angling adventure with a spinning rod and then make the jump to baitcasting once they're decided they enjoy the sport and want to try different options.

What Are Crappie Jigging Rods?

This jig rod is mostly used in crappie fishing. These products are known for having stainless steel guides, extra sensitivity, and a great casting feeling. A high-quality jig rod of this kind will do an excellent job whether you're looking at bass fishing or jig fishing in general, making them perfect for the average bass angler.

What Makes a Jig Rod Good?

There are many things you must consider for your jigging rods. Overall, the best jigging rod will be the one that feels the most comfortable for you and your technique. Keep in mind the following factors before choosing a jigging rod: 

  • Sensitive blanks
  • Solid hookset
  • High-quality reel seat
  • Carbon fiber materials (optional)
  • Lightweight or ultra-light design
  • Compact packaging

What Is the Difference Between Slow Action Rods and Fast Action Rods?

Although these may seem similar, both rods feature unique designs that will make them more appropriate for certain types of people.

The fast action rod will only bend at the top, whereas the slow action rod will bend toward the middle. If you're looking to catch a large fish, such as a big bass out of a thick cover, the slow fishing rod will be a better option.

On the other hand, if you want to go for large game fishing or are looking to get the fish out quickly, the fast jig is better. Consider using the fast jig to catch pike, striper, or largemouth bass.

Is a Longer Rod Better for Jigging?

It depends on your needs and the jigging rods you purchase. A long rod, for example, will help you cast for a longer time, although it could be less accurate. Some manufacturers recommend shorter rods considering the motion you need to do when jigging.

Those who are looking for a finesse jig to do techniques like drop shotting may also benefit from getting a shorter rod. In the end, it all comes down to your personal preference.

What Are the Different Types of Jigs?

There are different "jig types" you can have when fishing. These include:

  • Slow-pitch jigs
  • Flutter jigs
  • Vertical speed jigs
  • Diamond jigs

On the other hand, the most common freshwater presentations of jigging rods you'll find on the market include:

  • Football Jigs
  • Swim Jigs
  • Casting Jigs
  • Grass Jigs
  • Flipping Jigs
  • Finesse Jigs

What's the Difference Between a Jig and a Lure? 

These terms tend to get confused since a "Jig" involves many different factors. Generally speaking, a "lure" is an artificial bait you will use in fishing to attract certain kinds of fish. Depending on the lure, you will have one or more hooks.

A "jig" on the other hand, can be a type of lure designed specifically for jigging. These have a lead sinker and a hook surrounded by a soft body, which is used to attract the fish. Thanks to the composition that jigs have, it makes it easier for people to create the jerky and vertical motion they need to catch fish.

Can You Use a Jigging Rod for Bottom Fishing?

Technically, you can use jigging rods for bottom fishing, although it's generally not ideal. As many people already know, the best kinds of fish stay at the bottom, which is why so many people go for these. If you want to use jigging rods for bottom fishing, you must get products with heavy power, an excellent rod handle, and other quality features. As for the length, try to go for a 5’8-7’ length for best results.

Shimano rod jigging products have proven to be good at this fishing type since they're versatile.

What Are the Best Fishing Lures You Can Use?

It depends on your goals. If you want to catch bigger fish, for example, you must go for bigger lures, and vice versa. Some of the best lures you can use for your jigging rods include: 

  • Jigging worms (Best for bass fishing)
  • Jigging spoons (Best for lake fishing)

What Is the Best Rod for Jig Fishing?

It all comes down to your personal preference. You don't have to go for the product with the most expensive material to reach your goals. As long as your rods feature everything you need, you're good to go! 

Some of the brands we recommend include:

  • Dark Matter
  • Shimano
  • Black Hole
  • Phenix
  • Daiwa
  • Tsunami
  • and more! 

What Are Some Jigging Tips to Consider?

  • Replace your lures or jigs as soon as you notice any damage on them.
  • Try not to have too much slack on your line.
  • Try to put yourself down or up the wind. If you engage in crosswind casting, you may not be able to feel the lure moving.
  • Before casting, place your lure at the bottom and do the jigging motion to determine how you may need to move.
  • Don't get discouraged if you fail. Stay relaxed and focused at all times.

Can You Use Jigging Rods for Tuna?

Yes! You can use a a wide variety of jigs when targeting tuna. Slow pitch jigs, vertical jigs and knife jigs are all really effective when targeting tuna. They look incredibly realistic in the wtaer. Make sure you have the correct type of jigging rod based on the style of jig you are fishing. 

Are Heavy Jigs Good?

In most cases, using heavy jigs will not affect your fishing experience too much. However, make sure that you use a lightweight rod since they're much easier to manage.
