what are you guys using for line on your hard jerk / rip bait? co-poly, straight flouro, braid, braid + leader....ect ect?????????? Line type and pound test-

10lb Berkley 100% Flouro for me. I cant fish them on casting stuff or else I would go heavier. I generally dont fish them more than 3' under the surface so more depth is not an issue.

Why is it that I keep seeing people state that they only throw jerkbaits on spinning gear? Just curious....

For the most part, I fish an Avid AC66MF/ Core/ #12 Yo-Zuri Hybrid.

When fishing lighter lures or at night, Fenwick Techna AV

AVS70MM/ Sustain/ #8 Hybrid.

My preference is baitcasting equipment for this technique,

but I also fish spinning gear, the Techna AV.

ok just checking. I figure its just a personal preference, but recently I noticed a lot of people stating that they only use spinning gear. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything...

Sorry OP for the hijack

Bass don't eat jerkbaits being thrown on casting gear.  You didn't know that?

Interesting. I thought I was the only who thought this too.   It seems more comfortable. It is a feel thing. If I rigged a hard jerk bait on a casting rig, I'll use it without hesitation or debate.
