    Most sensitive rod EVER

    What in your opinion is the most sensitive rod out there for sale ? I want a new one and I want it to be the best for Texas rigs or light jigs. Thanks

    I had Joe Burns custom make specific rods for me that are very sensitive. The best I have used to date but they are not on sale.

    Something like this would best be served going the 'Special Order' route. Many companies make a 'sensitive' rod but a 'Special Order' can get You different components that many of the rod companies don't/won't use because it 'may' be too 'sensitive/too light' for that particular companies thresholds.. It would probably cost less going this route as an added bonus. Of course this will also allow to work off of that particular rod and make Your rods fit into place.
    e.g. Like a set of golf clubs.

    Just to be precise, when you say Texas rigs and light jigs, please elaborate. What's the largest, heaviest jig or t-rig you want to throw, same with the T-rig?

    1/4 oz weights on t rig. 3/8 jig. I got a ton of “great rods” but I’m just itching for one that’s above the rest

    You could go with any of the 3 power NRX series. 893, 853, 843..... 803 if you like shorter rods. Its a lifetime rod with the awesome G Loomis "expeditor" service.

    This. He is the Rod Father. Have quite a few built by him. A killer one from a Point Blank blank with Fugi Torzite spiral wrapped guides, and a MVT real seat.

    You'll be hard pressed to beat the NRX 893 in that weight class based on what is currently available in the US market. Anything over 3/8 oz jigs and you'd need a heavier powered rod. The Tackle Trap gives very nice Loomis discounts to our BBC customers. Feel free to send me a PM or call the shop if I can help.

    I like my G-Rods for sensitivity.
