There are plenty of good fishing rods on the market today. Most match up well to the Abu Garcia 5500 or 6500 reels. I like to use 40lb. braided micron with the heavier jerkbaits. TUF Line is a good choice for medium to light weight jerkbaits. I avoid using a monofilament line with jerkbaits because of the high stretch factor… it will cause you to lose a fish. A leader is a must. Using one equal in length to the size of your lure will provide good results in most cases. Jerkbaits have been catching fish for many years and will be around for many more to come. Get in on the action this summer or fall or for that matter throughout the season. Good luck and tight lines.
