Been thinking about getting a different jerkbait rod..something a little bit stiffer than what I have currently. |

The shorter stiffer rods are not the way to go. Use the longer rods and you'll keep more fish pinned.

| I don't think you are going to get many votes with a 6'6" max rod length as very few rods under 7' are sold in the musky market nowadays. In my experiance 7' is most popular followed by 8, then 7'6". PErsonally I use an 8' Fenwick TechnaAV for just about all my musky fishing regardless of what lure I am throwing. |

Location: Brookfield | I cant say I like any of the above choices for jerk baits. I use a 6'6 for gliders and 7'6 and 8 for everything else. Always my 8ft for jerk baits, longer casts, way less fatigue, and hook sets that get hooked. But thats just me and my $.02.

| 7' or 7'6" MH Fig Rig Tooth Tamers, depending on exact bait. |

| Bulldawgs, Suicks, heavy gliders, etc. = 7'6" H Fig Rig Tooth Tamer. I think the tooth pick length rods are a thing of the past. Take advantage of the longer rods with the same power as the pool cue sticks. |

| I put cork on a 7 foot Diamondback jerkbait rod last year thinking somebody would order it. I still have it sitting there waiting to be built on.
If anybody is interested I am willing to work out a deal.
