Two I have used and really liked...Shimano Expride 7'2" MH and Daiwa Steez AGS 7'1" MH. However, 1/2 oz is about as heavy as I would go with either rod, even though they are rated for heavier weights than that.

All I do is T-rig. I have 3 IMX Loomis 844c and one 843c. Have had them all for over 20 years and great rods.
That's the one I still have too!Quote:

I’m thinking of selling it if anyone is interested along with a few other rods.Quote:

Rather than recommended brand of Rod I'm going to recommend a length....7 foot 6 in at a minimum so many times with the Texas Rig big bass Chomp down hard on your Sinker it's hard to move the hook in their mouth I want a long Rod that moves a lot of line to ensure could hook sets
It’s a green Castaway and says Worm/jig.
My favorite is an old G Loomis IMX 843c. I've had this rod for about nearly 15 years.
Power Tackle PG104 or The One 03.
My favorite are the G Loomis - Bronzeback series! I don’t know if they are still made, but I can feel a 1/8 worm weight with a 5” worm in 30 feet of water. With mono no less!

A few have mentioned the 843...it s good choice but I like a 4 power instead of a 3 power on a rod where I want a rod to swing hard and fast to drive a single hook home. The 893 and 894 are also a good choice but for my style fishing, arm length I prefer an 84" rod (7ft) the 893/4 is 89" (7ft 5in) so if you prefer a longer rod then go 894.
I have a pair of 7' mh Carbonlites that I t-rig with. They're sensitive enough while still being a good value. It all comes down to what you like the feel of the best and what works for one person might not work for someone else.
