There we are.
That was a long cast.
And I tell you, it's a common thing when you're panfishing.
Sometimes you really need to bomb casts with light jigs all the way up to a shallow weed line like I'm doing for croppies.
And when it comes to fishing light jigs and throwing them long ways, this is the rod for the job.
It's a St Croix Avid Panfish seven foot LXF.
And I tell you, when it comes time to wing these things far, a longer rod is going to do a couple of things for you.
It's going to give you extra flex.
This split grip butt section allows you just a little bit extra leverage to throw that tiny jig out deep.
I'm able impart some subtle action with the long tip of this rod.
It's soft in the extra fast side of things, being able to feel a lot.
And then I've got a strong butt section to be able to set the hook.
Plus, the length helps you pick up line from distance, whether you're bobber fishing, just fishing with light jigs for croppies like this, it's a real winner.
It's again the St Croix Avid seven foot LXF.
Try it.
I know you'll love it.
