Looking for a rod for a specific situation and presentation, namely light jerkbaits (picture bfs style, like a Lucky Craft bfreeze, megabass x80 bfs, 3/16 to 1/4 ounce). First priority is I need to send them a MILE. I'm fishing them from an elevated bank and I jerk sideways so a long rod is a benefit. Right now I'm alternating between a Cashion 7'0 light /Curado bfs, and a Steez MML 7'6. The Steez sends them a bit further but not far enough, and is really too heavy to be ideal for jerkbaits that small imo. The Cashion doesn't send them as far as the Steez, and I need more distance.
So what I really want probably doesn't exist: a long, light, whippy spinning rod with a jerkbait tip. In this application, I like the rod long, that 7'6 length feels about right. And did I mention that I like my jerkbait rods to be super sensitive (for reference, my favorite overall jerkbait rod is a P5 Windbuster).
Along the same line, the 7'0 Cashion is ok but too soft in the tip imo for an ideal jerkbait bfs rod. Has anyone come across a true bfs jerkbait rod? I'm thinking that niche hasn't been explored too much by manufacturers yet.
