JDM Jig rods
Re: JDM Jig rods
I think I’ve settled on the Evergreen Black Raven Extreme, now I just have to find one.
Re: JDM Jig rods
Does the Black Raven Ext fish like a MH? Evergreen ratings are so all over the map. Wondering if this actually has the muscle for heavy cover or not?
Re: JDM Jig rods
Now the hard part will be finding one, the guy at jdm tackle heaven says he has no idea when he will get more stock.

Shimreels has it in stock, and if you make an account with them they are running a 10%off coupon. I've bought multiple items from them without issue. Shipping takes a little longer than JDM Tackle Heaven, but if its the rod you want then its worth the wait

Re: JDM Jig rods
I’ve bought a couple of rods from Shimreels in the last couple of months with no issues. Arrived within a week, but the holiday shipping rush could impact that.evilcatfish wrote: ↑Wed Dec 15, 2021 8:36 amShimreels has it in stock, and if you make an account with them they are running a 10%off coupon.

Re: JDM Jig rods
I ordered both my Inspirare RSR and HD from Shimreels, they do a nice job packaging rods to prevent breakage. They’re definitely not the lowest price in town but they often have product in stock that others don’t.

Re: JDM Jig rods
To answer your question simply... in my opinion NO. It's not that kind of rod. I use it around cover because that's just how fishing at the Delta is. It's got a very resposive tip with quite a bit of flex to it. I tend to bring fish in a little more gently with it than I do with my 6'9" shallow cover finesse RD which is M+. I've been throwing 5" senkos neko rigged, or wacky with it and it's great for that type of thing, but I don't care for it as a jig rod. I feel like it's more of a M power rod than MH and techniques where you have to set the hook hard aren't really what id use it for. it's an excellent rod, top notch all around, but I prefer more power in cover and with jigs in general.
Re: JDM Jig rods
Much appreciated. Exactly what I needed to know.

I so wish that beautiful looking stick was between six to nine inches longer.
