3/8-1/2 oz Jerkbaits using PE + Leader, I use the Phenix Crankbait X-10.
It's rebound is strong and fast enough to sling a jerkbait the distances I like, yet its compliant enough to keep the hooks pinned using PE, it also makes subtle manipulations on good suspending jerkbaits like the MB vision easy.
Jerkbaits on FC or mono? That I'm still searching, I guess optimum power and taper would depend on the distances I'm casting.

Re: YOUR favorite jerkbait stick
I have one about to be built on an X9 blank cut down to 6'8" and intermediate microguides. I don't mind the 7 as I usually down work the tip straight down and the length is great for the distance casts.Hogsticker2 wrote:Too long for me. I wish they made a 6'6 version.

Re: YOUR favorite jerkbait stick
Mhood, I've seen different versions of that rod. I think it was dti, xfti and some other, what difference does it make? Which one should I look for?mhood wrote:Megabass Jabberwock Evoluzion Slant Bridge is my favorite.

Custom Batson CB70H cut 2" from the butt.
Re: YOUR favorite jerkbait stick
Mine is the F4.5-68XFti (I believe "Fti" means titanium fibers the full length of the blank). It's the last slant bridge Jabberwock Evolution model (I think) and you'd need to get one used...they don't make it anymore.Mcyl wrote:Mhood, I've seen different versions of that rod.

Probably a lot like a wet noodle I can't see how anyone would use that rod for jerkbaits, but to each their own I guess.Hogsticker2 wrote:Too long for me. I wish they made a 6'6 version.

Re: YOUR favorite jerkbait stick
My favorite jerkbait rod for this would be my M/F 6'6" St. Croix Avid. I also like my reaction Cumara 6'8" MH/XF too, but not as much as my Avid. There is just something about it that makes it perfect.
Re: YOUR favorite jerkbait stick
I'm picking up the rod from Paddletales Tackle in Winchester Ontario.Hogsticker2 wrote:Where did you order it from? The only place I've seen it is landbigfish and they do not offer free shippingStarTzar wrote:I have this on order. Should receive it within the next two weeks.
