I’m looking at a jerkbait rod. Needs to be a true medium with a fast action. I do not like the soft parabolic action of some of the rods out there. 
 

Here’s kinda my list:

shimano expride 6’10 med/fast

orochi jerkbait special m/f

alpha angler slasher 6’10 m/f 

 

If I’m missing a rod that should be here please go ahead. 

Buy this so I don't

Daiwa tatula 6'6 M f

Daiwa tatula 6'3 M f

St.croix legend tournament 6'8 m f

St croix legend tournament 6'10 m f

 

I would add those to the list

 

I use a powell endurance 6 8 medium heavy.  Endurance 683

 

Add the major craft ms 1 7' medium f to the list

I have the Alpha and it is owesome!
......the MB Flatside special is pretty special too.

Glad I don’t have to decide between the two

   You might want to consider the 6'-08" St. Croix Mojo Bass MH/F rod. It has a stiffer tip than some.   jj

If you're in the camp that a Dobyns MH rod is closer to a Medium, the 685 and 705 are well regarded jerk bait rods.  I prefer the Moderate-Fast action so I can switch between fluorocarbon and braid depending on time of year/temps.

 Not my style, shorter than I want.

I have been using a G. Loomis 783C GLX for years and it has been fantastic for Lucky Craft Pointers and Vision 110's.  It's sort of fits in that Goldilocks Zone >  Not too heavy, the tip is fast but soft, sensitive and it has hook setting power.

I currently have seven Orochi XX's in my arsenal and wouldn't hesitate to buy the Jerkbait rod.  As it is now I use the Diablo Spec R but wouldn't be surprised if the jerkbait is hear by end of summer.

Interesting, I’m gonna do some shopping today and see what I can find locally.
 

I should of mentioned I like length between 6’9-6’11. 

You can get a JDM Poison Adrena 6'10" M/F.  I assume the action is very similar to the Expride 610.  I love it for jerkbaits and poppers.  One of my favorite rods to fish.

The one I use is my favorite jerkbait rod I've owned, and I've had a bunch. Okuma TCS 6' 9" MH/MF. It's not a MH, fishes much more like a medium and it's 10-17lb, 1/4-3/4 reflects more that of a medium than a MH.

I too have way more stickbait rods than I need but I have 2 I really like even though they are different action wise.

The Witch Doctor Surman 50 G and the St.Croix MXF Topwater rod. Personally I like the tip on the Topwater version better than the model they label as Jerkrbait.
