lew Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 Jerkbait rods for musky fish'n I prefer to go shorter than normal and use a 6' 6" medium heavy St. Croix Premier with an Abu 7000 Big Game reel.....excellent set-up !!
irishfield Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) I find my 6'9 St. Croix is perfect off the dock and I'm 5'10" tall. I may find it's a tad short from my casting deck now though. Edited May 31, 2007 by irishfield
Whitemikeca Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 I just got a new Muskie jerkbait rod myself. Its a 6' 10" Okuma extra heavy rod with my old Abu Garcia 5500 C3. I can't wait to try it out this Sunday. It only cost me $80 at JB's. I will let you know if I can recommend it after Sunday. My main Muskie setup is a 7' 2" heavy Shimano Compre with a 300TE Calcutta reel and it was just a little bit too short and had too much flex for jerkbaiting.
