Wildbillb Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 I am in need of another jerkbait spinning rod. I already have a casting rod, but I am waiting a spinning for jerkbaits also. What are you guys using in st. Croix lineup? I am thinking something in the 6'6" range. I don't want to break the back either. Thanks. Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted May 22, 2014 Super User Posted May 22, 2014 I tried to use a spinning rod for fishing jerkbaits just could not find the rhythm if that makes sense. I kept ending up with slack line loops on my spool and eventually went back to a baitcaster. Good Luck. Quote
Cgrinder Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 I would start with the 6'8" MXF Avid spinning rod. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 22, 2014 Super User Posted May 22, 2014 I prefer baitcasting gear for jerkbaits. My dedicated rig is an Avid AVC66MF with a soft tip. The rod is matched up with a Scorpion (supertuned) and #12 Sunline Super Natural. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted May 22, 2014 Super User Posted May 22, 2014 Any of their 6'8" M/XF spinning rods will work will work. I've got 3 rods that I use for jerkbaits early and late in the year. 6'6" M/F Legend Xtreme (casting) 6'8" M/XF Legend Tournament Bass (spinning) 7'2" M/M Legend Tournament Bass (casting) Quote
