Rangerjoe Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I was think about adding a jerk bait rod, Loomis JBR752CTD, for 1/4 - 3/8 baits to pair up with a Sol. Then I though that my Avid 6'6" MF might work and save me some money. Has anybody used the Loomis rod, if so pro and cons same with the Avid. Thanks, Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 You just missed the JBR813 on sale at TW for $138! Quote
Super User J Francho Posted October 14, 2011 Super User Posted October 14, 2011 I use an Avid AC62MXF with a Alphas and a AVC68MXF with a sol for jerkbaits, topwaters, and even spinnerbaits. You don't really need to sensitive a rod for this, just one that's comfortable, and a fast tip that recovers quickly after twitching. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 IMO the Avid is more than sufficient for a jerk-bait rod. Quote
Rangerjoe Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 Then can I assume that a SBR752(I have two) Loomis would also make a good jerk bait rod since it has an extra fast tip? I really want to stay with 6' to 6'6" the 813 might be too long. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted October 15, 2011 Super User Posted October 15, 2011 Mine is the Avid AVC66MF. :D Quote
Super User OkobojiEagle Posted October 15, 2011 Super User Posted October 15, 2011 I'm going to throw in a suggestion to try a rod with a fast or medium fast action for jerkbaits and lighter top water baits. oe Quote
