Drop shot jerk bait blank

I know these two usually don't go together but I have a customer who wants me to find a blank in the 6'8"-7'2" range 8-15 lb test line that he can use to throw jerks and will still work to occasionally drop shot with. Any recommendations?

Pac Bay Quickline Popping - QLP843 or 844. Nice, light, fast but not too fast.

Thanks - Marc

Keep it simple - that's all I can handle!

What you asked for sounds like the Bushido SJ728-15 from American Tackle 7'2" for 8 to 15 line, 3/8 to 3/4 baits.

Really depending on costs but if you look at our website there are a few options: www.rainshadowrodblanks.com

The Immortal line is one very sweet stick! [www.rainshadowrodblanks.com]
IMMS68M or the IMMS72M

The Revelation errors on the side of durability. [www.rainshadowrodblanks.com]
REVS68M or the REVS72M

** We have a complete line of products from Popping blanks to Spinning blanks that will also fit the bill **

Good luck bud!!

I'm not sure there is any conflict in the desired action between drop shot and some jerking applications. We have found tha at least on some waters the fall smallies want the action of a jerkbait that you can only get with a really fast action rod rather than the more sluggish action you get when fishing a traditional crankbait or jerkbait action. I remember some fishermen slowing down their glass rods by adding sections of rod over the tip section, about a foot down from the tip. That will get you very little response with our fall smallies when they seem to want a much faster twitch.

Thanks for all the info gentleman. We are going to go with the Pacbay QLP843 recommended by Mark. I love the fly blanks,very high quality at a great price. I am sure these will be great rods.
