For anyone who has fished any of the St Croix MXF spinning rods, how any input on how they would do fishing hard jerkbaits like X-raps and Pointers?

Thanks

Chris

Well...I don't know, but I own several St. Croix Avid rods, plus two

Legend Elite. I HIGHLY recommend the AVC66MF for jerkbaits

and topwater.

I think the MXF would be a great finesse rod. Not sure if it would be the best jerkbait rod, but I'm sure you could make it work.

I have a LE70MF that works nicely with jerkbaits... and most other stuff that I fish with.

X2, got this rod this weekend and it is just absolutely an amazing rod.  I used it for some jerkbaits and top water as well as some 1/4oz swim jigs and 1/4oz spinner baits.

I already have this rod

But truth be told, I'm more comfortable fishing hard jerkbaits with a spinning combo.

I use the 6' 9" MLXF for all my jerkbait fishing (don't typically use bigger than #7, mostly #5 raps).  I like the way this rod casts, further than any other rod I have owned.  I actually own two now, one is spinning, the other casting.........built on the same blank.  St. Croix calls it a "drop shot" rod, but man its awesome for small jerks and topwaters too.

I don't use spinning for jerkbaits, since I generally go with larger baits, but I do use a AVC62MXF for hard jerks and topwater plugs.  If I was a little taller, the same rod in a 6'6" would probably work too.  I like the tip recovery speed of an XF rod for any kind of twitch/sweep type retrieve.
