    Finesse Jig rod

    What would be a good sensitive rod for lets say 3/8 dirty jig finesse jigs with a trailer or lighter?

    Factory rod: a St Croix LTB in a 7’1” MH-Fast

    custom: NFC Xray SJ736 or an NFC MB704-1IM

    the MB704-1 is currently my go to finesse jig rod for Keitechs 1/2oz and 3/8oz

    The X-Bites is definitely good, no question can't go wrong. I'm going to go with The Sensor in Steez line though if we're splitting hairs. I use these two rods so much they are both so fun to fish so maybe I'm voting for both.

    Is the p5 x bite a heavy?

    Wouldn’t call it a heavy. I agree with New Ranger Man that it’s a MH. Sweet spot is in that 1/4-3/8oz range. Didn’t like it for anything heavier. It’s not the most versatile stick but it’s phenomenal at what it does.
