Get our the best Gigging Rods. A jigging rod is a unique kind of fishing rod designed specifically for the purpose of vertical jigging, a fishing style in which a lure (jig) is moved up and down in the water column to entice fish. These rods are usually short, durable, and have a high level of sensitivity, which enables the angler to feel when a bait is taken without applying too much pressure that would cause the fish to flee. The jigging rods are perfect for deep-sea fishing that is a method used in higher spots where the fish type is predominantly of the open-sea creature types such as tuna, grouper, and amberjack and the fishermen mainly use this kind of rods with the reels and braided lines to control the vessel as well as practice a smoother performance.
