What's your go-to spinning set up for jerkbaits 110 or Jr size?

7 foot med. action Bass Pro Bionic blade. I use a Penn 430ssg reel with 10 lb. braid, no leader.

I use a Kistler KLX, 6’9” M/MF with a Vanford 2500 spooled up with 8# fluoro.  Kistler didn’t offer one at the time so I had them build a copy of their casting version, which is my #1 JB rod.

 

Kistler now offers a dedicated JB spinning rod.

St. Croix Legend Tournament Bass 6'8" MXF with 2500 Shimano Miravel spooled with straight 7# Sunline Sniper

Casting is a IMX M/F 782c -Curado Bantam 10-12# Yozuri T7 fluro

I fish a P5 Windbuster with a Ballistic MQ 3000 reel, 15 powerpro to 8# leader.  So much fun fighting smallies on that rod!

Ive used 3 rods over the years for jerkbaits

#1. Sixgill Fast Akylos, favorite rod ive ever used for anything. No longer made😌 its a 7'2" M Fast. Now my primary ned rig rod instead.

#2. Will be from the same company, its a 6'9"ish? MH Fast action Cypress that i got with it from them years ago. The handle nut wont stay tight and its too short for my liking so i threw it in the corner and use #3.

#3. Is the one that speaks to me, its a 7' M Fast Daiwa Aird X. I like my rods a bit stiffer than most, and i dont like short rods at all. I would prefer this rod to be 7'2"-7'3" but it works good for me and i really like it. Its got a slight bend to it but has lots of backbone if needed.

 

For reels i have always used Shimano Sienna 2000's-2500's. Or Daiwa revros. Really depends if the rod it would go on was red or black and gold with some metallic light blueish grey accents. This year ive gotten a Shimano Ultegra spooled up with 8lb Yo Zuri Hybrid to put on this Daiwa Aird X. I know some guys will hate this, but its what god wanted. The colors match almost perfectly.....

Lew's KVD 300 on a BPS 6'6" m/f Carbonlite rod. I will have either 8 or 10 lb Big Game spooled on.

Haven’t bought it yet but the one I want is a St. Croix Premier 6’6” M/F, purely for the foregrip on the rod. For comfort, that’s where I hold the rod. Probably will put a Bass Pro Shops Carbonlite 2.0 reel on it, or some other similar Daiwa 2500 spinning reel. 

Best has been NRX plus 842s. I’ve done well with NRX 852s jwr. Best with 110 jrs and handles 110s is NRX 822 dsr all with Stradic 3000 xg and braid to floro leader.

NRX 821 nrr For Smaller Jerkbait with Stella 2500 , 110 and 130s all with casting rod.

Has anyone tried an Expride B 7' medium? Or a Zodias? 

Megabass Orochi Whipsnake with a 24 Vanford 2500SHG. One of my favorite combos to use specifically with 110jr's.

I use two old mold St Croix Avid 68 m / XF with  Shimano 2500 Ultegra reels.  I use 10 pound Powerpro v2 with a Sunline Sniper leader.

872S SJR NRX+. I only use it when it's windy and only on smaller jerkbaits, 110jr and smaller. I don't care for a full size jerkbait on spinning gear.
