Megabass XX or Kistler HE3 spinning for jerkbaits

Looking to setup a spinning jerkbait (primarily) rod. I have an Light MH/Fast HE3 casting rod and it's awesome, but I'm intrigued by the new XX Ronin.

I've got a NRX 852S, but I'd like to throw the Ito Shiner, Vision 110, etc. which are 1/2oz. but 3/8oz.-3/4oz. is the range I'm looking for. Rods are 6'8"; the HE3 handles 3/16 - 7/8 oz. while the Ronin handles 1/4 - 3/4oz. Both have Fast tips.

Any recommendations- knowing the new XX isn't out yet. Right now I can get the Kistler for $100 less (sale and points). Thanks-

No suggestions, eh?

Alright, how about any spinning rod for jerkbaits? Price cap at $300.

I also want the rod to do double duty for inshore fishing.
