Which is softer? Tucr commander or jt outdoors black reign

Looking to buy one of these I’ve narrowed it down to one of these rods but which is softer meaning which one doesn’t feel like a broom stick with a fast tip? Looking for a designated number 7 jigging tap rod oh also I’m looking to get whatever one in 38 in length..

I cant comment on the Black Reign, but the Commander is a great rod, sensitive enough for smaller fish (no problem feeling small perch biting)

I have a 38 inch Commander. It’s pretty stiff. Been thinking about switching to the black reign or frostbite. Don’t get me wrong I like the commander but it is too stiff for head shakes to keep me comfortable

38″ Commander would be perfect. I can’t comment on the Black Reign, but I drop a lot of #5-9 Jigging Raps on the 38″ Commander. Best jigging bait rod I own. Great for a variety of Rippin Raps as well. I never lose fish on head shakes. Knocking them off on the edge of the hole is another story.

On the plus side, this site is very TUCR friendly. If you don’t like the 38″ Commander, it’ll sell in a heartbeat, especially if it’s custom colored.

I’ve sold numerous TUCRs on here and also on FB Marketplace. It allowed me to dial in my rod selection. The Commander 38 is the only rod I took out yesterday for a reason. It’s a premium hole-hopping rod for jigging baits, and the length allows me to stand, which makes hole-hopping even easier.

Fun fact: the exposed blank of a 38″ Commander with 8″ handle is actually 0.5″ shorter than a 36″ Commander with a standard 6″ handle.

My arsenal mostly consists of TUCR and thorne Bros rods. I love my commander!! My fishing partner yesterday at the show bought a 34″ black reign from JT and I have to say I was impressed! Obviously haven’t fished with it yet but it definitely has my interest peaked!!

I felt it is softer than a commander, more of a moderate fast action. It appeared that it didn’t roll into the backbone of the rod as fast as a commander comparatively, however I didn’t feel like that was a sacrifice at all due to the balance of the rod and technique/bait choice. I am looking forward to snagging it out of his bag and field testing for sure.

So to answer your question, which is softer, my opinion is the black reign but the tip is lively, rod is balanced nice and the whole package looks to be a up an coming option that the most die hard TUCR fan will have to look twice, cuz it’s not going to go un-noticed!

Good luck with either, I don’t believe you will be disappointed either way you choose!

thanks for all the replies i’m going with the med 38″ sure grip JT Outdoors Black Reign…
