| Just wondering what your fav. jerk bait rod is. Manufacturer, length, power, action, etc. Do you have one for bigger jerks, and one for smaller?
Thanks,
MJB |

| That's easy. My 6'2" st. croix avid 1-5oz. It's wonderful. I do have to send it in however as one of the guide inserts came out. No problem. It has a lifetime warranty.[:bigsmile:] |

|
| a 7' two-piece St-croix premier casting, 0.5 to 1.5oz. Fish about any jerkbait with it. Even heavy cobb's gliders |

|
| 7'6" Pete Mania Rod for mid-weight stuff
7' St Croix MH for heavier stuff
6'9" Aurora Sworrall rod for Reef Hawgs, Undertakers and other smallish baits.

| Ok I am in left field here, but I know alot of other folks like me that use these long rods for multi purpose, which includes jerks.
I use an 8' Lamiglas for everything and with great confidence. Best jerbait rod I ever used. All Star and Aroura also build great 8' rods that work soft twiching gliders to suicks with ease. |

| Jason, do you stand on 3 tackle boxes to avoid slapping the water? :)

| Ask Slamr if I ever, once slapped the water all day yesterday when I was working Undertakers.
Its in the wrist.[;)] |

| I am with Jason when it comes to using one rod. I use a Fenwick 7' and have yet to find a bait it doesn't handle suitably. I have also been using a St. Croix 7' which is a little heavier action but it feels sluggish and heavy compared to the Fenwick. I am sure my Fenwick is even BETTER than J. Smiths lamiglass(or it's not). All these St. Croix
lovers-am I the only person on the board that feels like the rods are too heavy every time I pick up a ST Croix, and I don't just mean the musky rods, their blank always seems cumbersome to me spinning etc. |
