It's not that often that we get to fish for pre-spawn bass here in MN but it's never a bad idea to be tossing jerk baits before and after the spawn.
I guess I decided that I needed a new jerk bait rod. So, last night I dropped by my favorite local sporting goods retailer (Capra's) and had a look around. I normally prefer 6' rod for jerk baits, definitely less than 6'6" for me. The decision was pretty easy this time and I ended up with a new St. Croix Avid 6'2" M/XF. I went back and picked it up tonight, slapped one of my Team Daiwa Advantage HSTA on it and spooled it with XT 10lb Clear. It balances out perfect and feels real good. Will give it a go in a couple days.
What rod do you guys throw your jerk baits with? I'm betting most of you use 6'6" or longer?
