We have one at SCT Custom Tackle. Its made out North Fork Composite blank. Designed especially for Jerkbaits. Went through several blanks before we got one that was just right. Its 6-10 and performs very well with 1/4-5/8 baits. If you live locally in the Dallas area youre more then welcomed to PM and we can meet somewhere so you can see it.

7' med action, painted blank, with a handle that feels good in your hands. Adds up the Loomis GL2 for me. I pair that with the Abu S in 6:4/1 for jerkbaits and crank baits up to a 5XD. The painted blank (IMO) helps keep the rod from cracking while casting, mine are about 4 years old and still solid. I can fish that set up all day and have caught em up to 8.5 with no worries.

WOW 400 bucks for a JB rod. I'd go back to my 5'6" M Ugly Stik first. I caught a lot of JB bass with that rod.

6'8'' LMH Kistler Helium-3. Have tackled a pile of giant Great Lakes smallmouth with it. Great jerkbait rod!
