Rage craw!

Really love my 905. Bought a 904 as well and really prefer the 905 as a jig rod. My preference is a stiffer rod for jig fishing. It also has done well for me throwing an A-rig this winter/spring.

I know I will get bashed on here, but the new Megabass Double X rods are just not that impressive to me. I absolutely love my gen 1's and would not get rid of them. The new ones have left me underwhelmed.

Very hard to beat a Staysee 90...

The 905 Conquest is awesome! Balances very well with a Metanium MGL. Currently have a Curado 300 on mine and it doubles very well for throwing A-rigs and will be a great jig rod in the range you are planning to throw.

You might want to check on the rear grip length of that rod. The 1st gen was a little short for my liking for swimbaits. Not sure about the gen 2, as I haven't held that specific model. The shorter grip is part of the appeal! Or at least it is for me. Fishing small ponds/lakes from the bank and fro...

Check out the Megabass FMJ it is a sweet jig rod.

If you can find one get the Double X Megabass Spinnerbait rod. Have two and they are one of the best I have used. Another that I picked up and felt decent was the Shimano Curado 6'10". I beleive that one would suit you fairly well.

Thanks for the responses!

Do you feel the 904 would be a better option for 3/8 to 1/2 ounce jigs?

I feel the Valdivia is one of the best Carolina Rigging rods I have owned. It would do well on big texas rigs as well. In my opinion it shines for 3/4 to 1 ounce c-rigs though.

I am looking for a rod that could potentially double as an A-Rig rod and a jig rod. It is rather difficult to find reviews on the 905 and was hoping someone on this forum has some experience with this model. This might be a better moving bait rod versus bottom contact, not sure. I have had some NRX'...

I have two Addermine's and love them! Have never owned the NRX spinning rod so cannot comment on them. The Addermine is very versatile as I have used everything from drop shots, smaller 110 jr's, even crappie tubes on 1/16 ounce head. Great rod, you'll be happy with it.

I find the Vision 110 works better in clearer water and the Pointer 100 excels when there is some stain as the rattles in this bait will draw them up.

Really depends. I find a more translucent bait works best up north on smallies. Here in Virginia where the water can range a shad colored bait works well in cleaer water and french pearl has been good for me when the water has some stain to it.
