I'm going to order a couple of Levantes, a Perfect Pitch and either the Flatside Special or Jerkbait Special. I'm looking for feedback on these two - how do you like it and what do you use it for?

The new jerkbait special is an awesome rod. Perfect tip to launch the bait, and to work it easily and effectively. The blank loads well to keep fish pinned on treble hooks. With the cosmetics and crisp feel, these are a step up from the old series for sure. I have a flatside special in the old series Levante and the new is a much different, better rod.
I throw 3/8 to 5/8oz baits on both rods and that seems to be a good fit for both.

Thanks for the feedback! Have you tried fishing light wire single hook baits with the jerkbait special, e.g. finesse swim jigs, underpins, etc? I ended up pulling the trigger on the jerkbait special.

I haven't, but I have no doubt it would be up to the task. Glad you pulled the trigger, you'll be very happy you did
