Creek Chub 1 Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 I’m looking for a mid to higher end suggestions for a spinning rod that’ll likely be a dedicated jerk rod. I mostly throw vision 110 jr’s but do throw the full sized ones occasionally I am open to all brands Thank 1 Quote

I read great reviews on them and believe they were designed to use the 110 series jerks. I jerkait fished for smallies and used a few different rods. primarily using the 110's and Juniors...I was never very confident in the technic. Lost fish, or didnt get strikes at all. I tried out the Megabass and it started making sense. Numbers went up in both landed fish and strikes. Either it was I was using the wrong equipment, lack of knowledge and skills or the Megabass rod was perfect for this application. I usually err on the side of me, but I cant help but think the rod made a lot of difference. They make nice stuff. 2 Quote
thunderblack Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 Ronin is a sweat stick but super short for casting. I owned gen one and 2 and the current model is the best. Other great options Megabass Valkyrie 6-11 M F (high end) St. Croix Medium F 7'-0" G. Loomis 842S - for smaller jerkbaits Shimano Teramar XX 7' MF Falcon Clearwater MH mod-fast favorite one but discontinued - Shimano Crucial 6'-10" M Fast favorite for casting far - Daiwa Steez 7'-6" ML/M 1 Quote

I have an older falcon low rider from the late 90’s. It’s a casting rod that I caught tons of smallmouth slinging rattling rogues and the Diawa TD minnow. It’s a 6’ and does great but I’m just not too good with a bait caster Quote
