Lucky Craft Man's post in Glx Or Nrx Spinning was marked as the answerThese questions are always easy. G Loomis NRX 852S JWR. That is the most versitile spinning rod for almost every technique that calls for a spinning rod.
As a side note: I have this rod in both the GLX and NRX version and the NRX is noticeably more sensitive.

Lucky Craft Man's post in Jerkbait Reel Gear Ratio was marked as the answerI am very picky about the line pick up amount of my jerkbait reel and I went through a little bit of a process to find what I liked. I didn't want too fast of a pick up, because the natural position of a turn of the handle of the reel between jerks would pull too much line and slightly pull the bait (which I did not want). I also didn't want too little of line pick up where I would have extra slack or I would have to wind the handle just a little more than what felt natural. So after cycling through several reels, I have found that for the cadence I like to work a jerkbait, 28 Inches Per Turn (IPT) was ideal. It is hard to go by gear ratio since one manufacturer's 6.4:1 gear ratio might have 28 IPT and another 7.0:1 gear ratio would be 28 IPT. I guess to make a long story short, you will have to experiment and see which gear ratio suits your jerkbait fishing style.
