| I'm looking to replace my broken jerk bait rod. What is your favorite jerk bait rod? Rod brand, length, lure weight, and reasons why you consider it special. |

| I've been very happy with the 6' 10" Heavy Fig Rig Toothtamer I've been using this season. It's light, strong, and very comfortable casting for long hours.

| Thorne Bros Diamond Back 7'4" Heavy, not the jerkbait model, but the heavy. What a great little stick for glide baits!! I thought the jerkbait model weighed considerably more than the "heavy" model. I like the lighter rod so I don't wear out my forearms working a jerkbait all day!! Definitely worth the extra money.

| Frank's Custom Rods Extra Heavy 7'8" Diamondback Rod, simply the lightest and best performing rod you could ever own. It is a great rod for jerk baits, twich baits, and gliders. It throws the monster custom baits I have with ease, and it can also handle the small stuff. This Winter I will be getting another one just like it because it performs so well!
Just had a big girl up on a Weed Warrior using it on Okauchee this afternoon

| This year been using the St Croix Avid 6.9 and love it. prior to that I had been using a 6.6 Lommis rod, reason for the switch is the extra lengh with the avid. |

You boys should really consider switching to 8 foot rods for fishing.
You get a lot more action out of your lures, they are easier to work, easier to figure 8, you can control fish better, and you are not ripping the hooks out of the fish's mouth with a short rod. Let the rod to all the work.
I would go 8 footer or nothing else. |

Location: menasha wi 54952 | I agree with Mr. Hulbert. I switched from a 7'6" Avid to the 8' Hvy. Fig Rig Toothtamer this season and could not be happier. Superlight rod with plenty of backbone. Loads up really nice and has some forgiveness. It has my vote!!!

| 7'6" St Croix Avid Heavy. Don't let the HEAVY fool you, this rod has the perfect amount of flex when it comes to loading for the cast and for fighting the fish.
Second choice would be an 8' Avid, but I think that the 7/6 is more versatile between the two.
