I currently have 2 of the Scheels Nano One medium light walleye rods. I like how light the are in the hand and the sensitivity but some times they feel a bit stiff and pull the jig out of the fished mouth.
Any recommendations for a good quality medium light walleye jigging rod? I have been looking at St. Croix Legend Elite, TUCR, Elliot, JT. I’m ok spending the money for a high end rod.

check out the classifieds…….there happens to be some St. Croix rods for sale!!!! 
The new Fenwick World Class and Elite rods are great. The 6-9, 7-2, and 7-6 ML have all performed well this year. Action and power are spot on.
Personal preference for length, but the 6-9 is my favorite jigging rod.
$400 ? Yikes.
The Limit Creek “Smoothy” has been doing the job for for a very long time, still light and sensitive. MSRP $139.

They discontinued the (fenwick) HMG didn’t they? That was one of my favorite “moderately” priced rods at around $100-$110. Sadly I just broke my beloved ML a couple months ago. Also have a cheaper HMX, but they are not nearly the quality as the HMG.
Curious how people are liking the new line(s) of decent/high end Fenwick rods.
i believe i have that fenwick HMG in the ultra light,,,,,i’d look but its 200 miles north of me at the moment. i LOVE that rod for panfish. its a shorty!!!

Interesting you like the HMG medium light . I thought it was too light for me for fish over 20 inches . Love the medium though .
The St Croix Legend Elite ML is a great rod. The 6’10” version is my favorite rod.
I recently bought the Trika 7’ ML. It is their 6X model. Used it in Canada for a week and it was excellent. Comparable to the St Croix and $100 less expensive.
Classifieds on there is a 6’10” ML FX legend elite (or extreme). I have the elite and it’s fantastic.
Have to agree with Steve on the Limit Creek Smoothy! I bought one after reading some previous reviews on here and really enjoy the rod. Paired it with a Scheels outfitters guide size 1000 made by Daiwa couldn’t be happier.
I have a few of the brands listed and my go to rod for jigging is the JT Customs JTX 7’1 Mag Med-Lite. I also have the 6’10” version as well
They are pricey but hold their own compared to $500 rod
Also, I know there has been mixed reviews about 2B Fishing, but I have a 6’10” ML XF and a 7′ Light rod and they are both great from my experience and they are more budget friendly

The HMG is still there. Both the Eagle and HMG were upgraded and the Eagle now has a lifetime warranty.
I don’t feel as if the new 6-9 ML is overpowered by a 20 inch fish by any means.
Limit Creek Smoothie.
I love the smoothie but it’s not great for live bait jigging. If you want a true live bait jigging rod, this is the last rod you’ll ever buy.
Double ouch! I must not be that mad at them!!!
8# braided line will make most cheap rods sensitive enough for walleye jigging. There is no need to spend 400 on a walleye rod.

I’ll disagree with this. Some applications it doesn’t matter but for finesse fishing I have seen and felt the difference.
The other thing with alot of the high end rods is warranty. Even though you pay a lot for the rod, replacements are usually covered.
Put 8# suffix 832 on a loomis glx and you will be amazed at the performance.

Could not agree more Matt. Not everyone will invest that much but the feel is amazing.
If you’re interested in something custom DM me.

I’m interested in trying that 6’9 Limit Creek Smoothie. I have 2 of the 8’3 extendable for slip bobbering and have found the quality and craftmanship to be great, especially for the price. For spinning rods I currently run mainly St. Croix (Legend Elite, Eyecon, Premier) a couple Fenwick Elite, and the Limit Creek extendables. Scheels Pro Angler trolling rods. I’ve tried the 2B Genesis but had a horrible experience (won’t re-hash, search the recent thread).
Check out sixgill rods. They are often on a BOGO deal and they also have clearance sales. VERY nice rods. I have like 5 and love every one of them. My son got a massive snag a few years ago in Canada and was so upset I said just give me your rod, it was a Pfleuger and I will fix the mess and gave him mine a sixgill and he pounded 10 fish in about 15 minutes and I never got that rod back. So I ordered him a new rod.

What sixgill are u using. The lykan series is my favorite jigging rod. I’ve said it many times, I grab that rod before any of my gloomis or croixs. But they discontinued the lykan rods now. So the 10 I have is it for that. I have a few more myakka and creature rods and a couple akylos as well but those are bass rods.

If you don’t mind spending the money then in my opinion the G Loomis NRX drop shot rod is the best jigging rod I’ve tried and I’ve tried a lot of rods. https://www.gloomis.com/collections/conventional-bass/products/nrx-plus-dropshot Even though its intended as a bass drop shot rod it works great for finesse jigging walleyes, extremely light and sensitive and being a drop shot rod it has a “soft” tip. Joe’s in St. Paul just had them 20% off but I think that sale ended Sunday.

My rigging rod is a myakka (I have two of them) one of the others I just bought my son is a Lykan I am pretty sure.
I’m definitly biased, but I love my Tuned Up Custom Rods and the new T1 is stellar.
Shimano Poison Adrena 6’10” UL/M spinning rod
I’m definitly biased, but I love my Tuned Up Custom Rods and the new T1 is stellar.
I got that email from TUCR and almost pulled the trigger on a T1.
Then thinking half my Croix’s got dust on them, from lack of fishing time the last 2 summers, common sense prevailed.

TUCR makes some nice rods but have you ever recommended something other than a Tuned Up Custom Rod? I understand you work for TUCR and I get the push. I am sorry but I have a hard time taking the word of someone who thinks the best thing available for everything are the products they are sell.
Yeah, I have a hard time trusting someone’s opinion on a product if they are affiliated with them. I am not saying they are lying, but they have a vested interest. I pay for everything I have so if I recommend something its because I spent money on it and I like it. If it is trash I will say that too. I have had a few of those purchases!
I am impressed with my Kistler Helium 3 rods when you can get them on sale are they as good as my StCoix Legend Elites almost but for half the price on sale it is a winner.
