Maybe I'm old school or haven't caught up with the times but my favorite are my pair of MBR782 GLX casting rods. They are short enough that I don't slap the water while jerking, the handle is short enough that I don't get it stuck in my sleeve and the rod itself just keeps fished pinned. I do have a newer model 842 GXL that I like too but the butt is long and gets caught in my sleeves if I am wearing a parka. I also have a Megabass Jerk bait special that I really like too.
