Re: Jerkbait rod
My two cents. I just picked up a 6'10" Poison Adrena in the fall of last year. I loved that rod for a jerkbait. It will definitely be in the boat with me all this year. If the ice ever melts that is.

Re: Jerkbait rod
The one I throw is the powell max 703c. Some other good ones in the max line are the 705cb and 683 (I think). If u can't find any of those, go to the inferno crank and jerk bait series
Re: Jerkbait rod
Loomis Magbass classic 782c glx, great rod, still use it to this day.

Re: Jerkbait rod
I'm big for the Megabass Vision 110+1's, my setup is the Megabass Orochi F4.5-68XX "Jerkbait Special". Super light, parabolic when big fish are close to the boat, sensitive to feel the tick if you miss the line jump. I normally favour G.Loomis or Shimano but for jerk baits the F4.5-68XX is a amazing setup. Only fished it over 4 or 5 trips last fall can't wait to spend 3 weeks with this rod this summer.
Shimano Core 50Mg7
Sunlike Reaction FC 10lb Fluorocarbon
No bend hooks, break-offs, or lost fish. So far so good.

Loomis GLX popping rod and MB c40 Elsiel spinning.
Re: Jerkbait rod
I use St. Croix Avid casting 6'2" M/XF. I prefer shorter rod, if you like longer the same thing in 6'8" is the way to go!

I love popping blanks for treble hooks!iliketofishman wrote:Loomis GLX popping rod and MB c40 Elsiel spinning.
Re: Jerkbait rod
While alot of guys will suggest an extra fast rod for this technique. I'll go against the grain and say something with a more moderate action will work better when fighting a fish and for also helping the jerk bait stay in place so to speak while not having to work as hard to do it.
