    Best all around Texas rig rod??

    What's everyone's opinion on the best Texas rig rod? One that's sensitive, can fish shallow and deep, mainly 1/4 oz to 1/2 oz weights. Thanks in advance.

    G Loomis NRX 893c/894c

    But hard to categorize as “all around“...due to price. Certainly other great T-rig rods out there for less money.

    The 873c is a bit softer than the 893, and much softer than the 894. I think it would also make a great T-rig rod. Just careful with how heavy of cover you are fishing. I actually use the 873 for long open water spinner bait rod...t-rig...weightless fluke/stick bait. 873c imho is a very versatile rod. You won’t find a lighter more sensitive Carolina rig rod.

    I have a old 7ft medium action castaway rod. Black rod with green accents. Is that the one?

    The 7’3” MH-F Tatula Elite rod I’m using now is great. Very light, pairs with an SV103 perfectly and has plenty of strength.
    My other T rig rod is a 7’1 BPS Platinum rod/reel, but that’s my swim jig rod and it handles that job perfectly.

    The Castaway Pro Sport Mag Bass is my go-to Texas rig rod...along with a few other baits. Great rod at a very good price point.

    Thats a nice combo! The plain Tatula with cork is one I have, works well.
