What kind of rod for Hard Jerk Baits

Featured Replies

Just wondering what kind of rod and action and length you all use for throwing like a Lucky Craft Pointer 78 for Smallmouth and largemouth?

Yep, that's my rod, too.

The 6 1/2" length and soft tip make this an ideal

rod for working jerkbaits and topwater lures. I

consider this a great option for an "all around"

treble hook rig. The AC66MF is an outstanding,

moderately priced rod.  I highly recommend

this stick.

Me too! A wise man once gave me that advice...  ;D

St Croix Legend Tournament 6'6" Medium power, Fast action "Jerkbait" rod. Name says it all, but the Avid RW mentioned is a close 2nd.

the mbr 782 is an excellent option, as well.

I purchased the IMX MBR782 for that exact application, and it excels. I Highly recommend it.

I personally prefer a 6'6" M/MH spinning rod.

The frequent twitching action to me is MUCH more comfortable on a spinning rod.
