i bought a med action 7ft BPS graphite series spinning rod and it works well for jerkbaits $ 19.99 if you catch them on sell or $30 if not. i sold my uncle a loomis jerkbait rod that i was previously using, not that the loomis wasnt a good rod, i just felt bad after spending that much on a rod that i didnt use but for a few months out of the year.
