Does anyone have a predator blank made into a jerkbait rod? How do you like it? What power is it? And what jerkbaits can you throw with it?

ive got a predator but not a classic "jerkbait" rod...its 9'3 xh but I exclusively throw gliders and dive and rise jerks with it and it works awesome. I toss 7.5 phantoms, 10" hellhounds and phantoms, and 9-12" dive n rise baits no sweat. Im sure this same rod trimmed to a conventional jerkbait rod would work just as well

Could you throw smaller gliders on that rod like the 4 or 6in phantoms and 6in HH?

I have a 9'3" MH Predator rod that I like for smaller glide baits. It has a softer tip that loads up nice. The rod also works nice with smaller bucktails and it's awesome for topwater. If you where going to have it built for ONLY a jerkbait rod you might want to consider having a couple of inches taken off the tip or going to the heavy blank.
