fig rig rods

i am interested in these rods but cant get into contact with the company. have any of you guys ever used one? how do they compare to a loomis imx for quality and being sensitive?

Eyenutz,

I’m an equipment junkie but not familiar with this name. Is there a publication promoting them?

stiilakid2,

I ‘m not sure who is promoting them. I found them at www. figrigrods.com.

I picked one up last winter, a 6’6 medium light Fiber Max that I’ve used for jigging and rigging. Like it for jigging, but the action is too fast for rigging.

I love the rod, very sensitive. I have’t used Loomis Rods, so I can’t compare. As compared to St. Croix, I find my FigRig to be definitely more sensitive than an Avid, but a little less than a Legend Elite. Good quality rod. Check out the web site.

Looks like a good rod for the money! It’d be interesting to pitch their top model against an Elite or Loomis GLX and just see how well it does or doesn’t compare. According to SettheHook, it sounds like his is relatively close to the G Loomis IMX series. Loomis’ Walleye series is a good overall jig and rig series but more expensive than the “figs”. Personally, I’d like to try one of their muskie rods because I’m still not “set” on my muskie gear.

Given the price and the customer backing, I’d go visit them, get one in the hands for a final decision. I must say, they’ve lifted my eyebrow and I’d be willing to try one if the opportunity arose. I have Techna’s, Croix Premier, Legend, Avid, Elite, and Loomis Crankbait and GLX rods so I’ve got a good “library” to compare against.

Do you suppose they good use a big mouth like me to do a promotional effort? LOL! Maybe, but I’m sure they’d prefer someone that can actually catch a fish!

Thanks for the help guys! I finally got in contact with the owner at FIG RIG, he said they will be coming out with a new catalog soon.They will be at a fishing expo in wisconsin this winter but was not sure of the place and dates yet. When i get the info i will let ya’s know! ps the wisco river eyes are slammin it
