Champ188 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Don't be drastic. It might be a nice redfin rod. Or a crankbait rod. For that price it has to be worth keeping. That's what I was thinking. Unless you need the refund to get a replacement, I'd hang onto it. That's quite a deal you got. Sounds like a potential small topwater/small-to-med crank bait rod to me. Might make a good Wiggle Wart rod.

Members carpelpummel Posted February 6, 2015 Author Members Posted February 6, 2015 I currently use a 7 footer also mainly because like a few have mentioned I am also a to the side jerker so won't be a change for me at all...decisions decisions...would've never paid full retail for it but the price I got it at was appealing. When I finally get the chance to get out with it I'll report back if anyone is curious. Unfortunately will still probably be a few weeks for me. Best of luck to all who make it out on this beautiful weekend!
Champ188 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Just a little food for thought here ... if your boat situation allows you to point the rod tip pretty much straight down at the water and to jerk (actually, I prefer the word twitch) back toward your feet, you will keep your bait deeper. Jerking sideways creates an upward pull on the bait, keeping it from reaching its maximum depth.

Jerking sideways creates an upward pull on the bait, keeping it from reaching its maximum depth. I am still jerking in a straight line from the bait and my rod is still just a foot or less from touching the water surface. It's the same thing as the standard jerking of most guys, just in a different way. That sentence sounds terrible. Champ188 1

Yea Kinda sounded better in your head, but I agree that is how I throw them and twitch them to the side it it easier for me to get the action and I can see the line easier, My hookset is a sweep motion and I believe I miss less fish that way.

It's the same thing as the standard jerking of most guys, just in a different way. That sentence sounds terrible. As long as your rod tip is close to the water, you should be getting max depth. And at this point I'm gonna back out of this because there's no way a conversation about jerking and rods and guys, etc. is going anywhere good. abkeenan 1
