Microjig is a fishing method in which the fisherman needs to feel with his own hands everything that happens under water. Hitting the rig against the bottom or obstacle. Fauna activity in the immediate environment. Bites. Spinning should transmit any information, and this is complicated by the fact that hunting is carried out mainly on small fish, whose bites are very weak and will go unnoticed for most models of fishing rods.
In fact, we need an ultralight spinning rod, but just buying the appropriate rod will not work. To achieve maximum results, you should pay attention to the following aspects:
rod weight;
its length;
test value;
class and type of spinning;
pommel type.
All listed parameters should be minimum. Weight - the lighter the better. Length - no more than three meters.Test - not exceeding 10 grams. As for the top, the structure is considered ideal, in which the extreme module is glued into the previous one. This significantly increases sensitivity and gives a better understanding of what is happening under water.
There are many models on the market that meet these criteria, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. We have selected some of the best options that are ideal for microjig. These are rods from top manufacturers and little-known brands, but only of the highest quality.
TOP 10 best spinning rods for micro jig
10 CRAZY FISH INSPIRE I-712 UL-S
Country: Russia
Average price: 6 100 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.3
CRAZY FISH is a Russian company that uses the achievements of other brands and combines them in its models. Before us is an ultralight spinning rod for micro jig, 2.1 meters long and with a glued pommel. It has a test from 2 to 12 grams with a maximum line load of 7 kilograms. Strange balance, justified by the fact that the construction uses the arrangement of the KR concept rings, which, in turn, is maximally optimized for the use of a braided cord.
The rod weighs only 90 grams. This was made possible thanks to the use of graphite from the Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi. Its name is Rayon 30T grafīta and it is the lightest material to date. Of course, you have to sacrifice strength, but since we are talking about microjig, it will definitely not work to break the spinning. Also note that the model is gaining a lot of positive feedback. Even despite the fact that you can’t call it defect-free.

Many now probably thought that a mistake was made in the brand name. This is not true. Yamaga has nothing to do with the manufacturer Yamaha, and they have in common only the birthplace of the brand. In Russia, the company is not so well known, although it is old and has been producing the best spinning rods for a long time, the main difference of which is the price. This is the most expensive option for micro jig, and judging by the characteristics, you still pay part of the funds for the name of the company.
With a length of 180 centimeters, the rod weighs only 50 grams. An undisputed record that no one has managed to break yet. In the production, unique, expensive, according to the manufacturer, materials are used. It also uses titanium rings from Fuji and an arrangement according to the unique KR-Concept scheme. All this significantly increases the performance, which was the reason for the model to get into our TOP, but the price still remains extremely high. For what and such a place rating.
8 Forsage Nitro S-6
Country: South Korea
Average price: 8 500 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
Reviews from ordinary non-professional buyers are the most valuable resource for compiling a TOP. Hundreds of people cannot be wrong, and in the comments to this spinning they praise it in all directions. However, the characteristics contribute to this.
With an assembled length of more than two meters, the rod weighs only 75 grams. The lightest ultralight spinning rod on the market. The corresponding test is 7 grams maximum and 1 gram minimum. The fast action and glued pommel significantly increase sensitivity, allowing you to accurately interpret what is happening underwater. That's just the price pumps up.Spinning is definitely not budget and is more expensive than many more popular brands. Quite surprising, since in fact there is nothing innovative in the rod. The materials are tested, and the technologies have long been used by all manufacturers.

Country: Japan (made in China)
Average price: 3 600 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
Balancing is the most difficult factor, which not all manufacturers manage to achieve. Increasing one aspect inevitably sacrifices another, and only occasionally is it possible to achieve perfection. Before us is just such a spinning option for microjig. Not the most budgetary, but you just stop thinking about the price after you study the characteristics.
With a length of 2.5 meters in assembled form, the spinning weighs only 90 grams. An excellent result, which was achieved thanks to the use of T30 carbon fiber with minimal use of carbon. The monolithic pommel and fast action make the rod extremely sensitive, although the test ranges from 2 to 21 grams, which allows you to use line with a load of up to 4 kilograms. Contributes to balancing and spaced handle, assembled from several modules. Some are covered with cork, pleasant to the touch, others are rubber.
6 Stinger Mirage Micro Jig SRD MRJ802L
Country: Russia
Average price: 3 550 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
Rods of the Stinger brand traditionally gain a lot of positive feedback on specialized resources. They are called the best of their kind, and all thanks to how this brand was created.Currently a division of another famous brand, Stinger was formed as a one-man company, a professional fisherman and enthusiast who once decided to create the perfect spinning rod. The hobby has grown into mass production, and until now, each model is made based on the personal experience of the creator.
Now we have an ultralight spinning rod with a test from 2 to 12 grams and a maximum line load of 3 kilograms. Build fast, plug-in design. There is a glued pommel that increases sensitivity, and rings located on the form using a special technology. The total combined length is 2.4 meters. Not the shortest rod, so the weight is 170 grams. Made using Toray-T 24 carbon fiber.

Country: South Korea
Average price: 6 150 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
Ultralight spinning cannot be telescopic. This reduces its sensitivity, in contrast to the plug-in design, which has another significant drawback - its size when not in use. In this case, we see the most compact version. In analysis, its length is only 90 centimeters, and in the collection - 1.8 meters. Ideal for both boat and shore fishing. In addition, the pommel is glued, which also increases the effectiveness of microjigging.
The maximum test is only 5 grams, that is, it is better not to think about hunting for large trophies. The load on the fishing line, although set at around 2.5 kilograms, but, apparently, is too high. This is also confirmed by reviews in which they write a lot about the fact that spinning copes with an individual of more than two kilograms with great difficulty.A special advantage will be the combined handle, trimmed with cork with rubber inserts. Excellent tactile sensations plus slip prevention.
4 RUBICON MASTER Jig II 0-5g
Country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: 1 400 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
There is no limit to perfection and the pricing policy of some brands. Sometimes the cost is really shocking, but this spinning hit our TOP precisely because of the affordable price. This is the most budget option you can find. Of course, taking into account other factors.
Despite the fact that the spinning is budget, it is made of T30 carbon fiber and carbon fiber. Quite expensive materials, but light, which made it possible to reduce the weight of the structure to 95 grams. Ultralight spinning rod with very fast action and Tulip rings. Of the shortcomings, we note only the non-glued top, which somewhat reduces the sensitivity, but is not a critical factor. The maximum test here is 10 grams, that is, microjigging is the most accessible direction for this rod. Yes, and the reviews are positive, which is a rarity for brands that are not world famous.
3 Salmo ELITE MICRO JIG 10
Country: Poland
Average price: 2 700 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
Ultralight spinning must comply with a number of aspects. All of them are in this model. This is a rod specifically for microjigging, with a line load of no more than two kilograms. Rod test from 2 to 10 grams. Build fast with glued pommel. The sensitivity is maximum, allowing you to accurately track and understand everything that happens under water. The connection is plug-in, two-section. Unassembled length is only 1.2 meters, assembled - 2.3 meters.Perfect size for both shore and boat fishing.
The spinning rod is made of IM7 carbon fiber in combination with carbon. Not the lightest materials, so the weight of the product is just over 100 grams. This factor could be attributed to shortcomings, but it exceeds the norm by only five grams, which is insignificant. But the screw type of the reel seat is already a minus. The technology is outdated, and it is not clear why it is still used, given that a worthy alternative has long been invented for it.

Rating (2022): 4.9
This spinning rod is not ultralight, but it could not fail to get into our TOP. You can also use micro jig with it, and the only drawback will be the weight of more than one hundred grams. However, this parameter is not too high, especially given the wide test range, which is set in the range from 7 to 25 grams. The maximum load on the line is up to five kilograms, while the action is fast, and the top is glued.
Contribute to improving performance and rings. They are made of SIC material with a "Tulip" design, they are considered the most attractive for sensitive fishing. Placement according to the K-Guide System form, which we also attribute to the advantages. The ideal length is 2.1 meters. You can fish both from the boat and from the shore. An excellent option, and even at the most attractive price. We also note the fact that despite its youth, the Maximus brand is gaining more and more confidence in the market and is already competing with many eminent manufacturers.

Probably, not a single TOP regarding fishing accessories can do without this brand.This is not surprising, given how skillfully the company combines high quality products with reasonable prices. Now we have a micro jig spinning rod, that is, an ultralight design with a test of up to 9 grams and a minimum bar of 2 grams. The maximum load on the line here is 2.7 kilograms, that is, not only small fish, but also quite large ones will become your trophies.

The fast action and glued-in pommel also contribute to increased performance. As they say in the reviews, the sensitivity is at the highest level. And for many fishermen, the fact that this is quite a budget spinning rod, albeit from a famous brand, will be an advantage.
