Patriot 1209

Assinippi, I wrapped a Patriot 1209 this spring for jigging the canal. Am very pleased with it. I throw mainly 4 & 5oz jigs and have no issues lifting them off the bottom. Although it is a little light in the tip, it still performs well. It also throws 3 - 4.5 oz plugs very well.. (much more so than I had thought it would.)
My advise to you....
If you want a rod purely for jigging.. All Star (breakaway)1209
If you want a rod you can use to jig, and yet still plug with.. Amtak 1209

Either way.. your not spending the money you would on the Arra.
