What type of power and action do you guys use for throwing jerkbaits? I'm thinkin fast tip, but what about power?

I like the St. Croix Avid AC62MXF for jerkbaits. A 6' MF would be a good rod that would also be good for many other baits.

I've switched to a seven foot All-star medium light graphite rod. I like the extra casting distance and the softness of the long rod for landing fish.  Longer is beter for me.

I have a spinning and casting setup I use for jerkbaits.  Both are 6' rods.  My spinning rod is an Avid 6' M Fast, which I keep 8lb fluorocarbon spooled on.  My casting setup is a 6' M Steez paired with a Pixy, which I also spool with 8lb fluorocarbon.  I'm tall (6'3"), but I still prefer a 6' rod over a 6'6" for properly working jerkbaits.  I've tried repeatedly to use a 6-6 rod, but the extra length will rake the water or the side of the boat on the downward stroke while working my jerkbait.  I use the same casting setup to work topwaters such as spooks and chug bugs (not with 8lb fluorocarbon though )
