Tube,
I have experimented with my 5 foot ultra-lite. But it seems that the short rod would allow you to jig right between your flippers so to speak.
By the way my buddy and I are having a hard time latching on to one of those pony jig moulds. The company we usually deal with is going out of business as mom and pop are retiring and none of their offspring is interested in carrying the torch. I was in Bass Pro the other day and the smallest they had was one sixteenth. I bought some in chartreuse to see if I could cast a heavier jig on my flyrod.
it was doable and i couldn't believe I caught a 10 pound stillwater rainbow from the big pond I float my tube in. Thanks for the heads up and your kind early Christmas present last fall. I am such a dedicated jig fisher I usually cast small jigs on my flyrod. Until you sent me those little beauties I had never used the "pony" style heads. I can't wait to get hold of one of those moulds so I can start cranking them out in the size you sent me. Thanks again.
