Yes The Phenix X-10 reveiw is impressive, Great control for those baits.

Re: glass jerkbait rod
I only have experience with one "glass" rod and that is the Lamiglas XCF705 M/H 7' 1/4 - 1oz. It's awesome! I don't know the weights of those small jerkbaits but I can throw 1/4oz speed traps pretty well. The tip on this rod loads up really well and when you hook up with a fish it's like butter. Flat out silky smooth.
Re: glass jerkbait rod
i would go with the powell 703cb glass. This is very light rod and you can't ever go wrong with a powell there one of the best rods ever made. The 703 retails for 139.99

Yeah what Vince said, especially the part about the Spinning Model.. It will work great for small jerkbaits..Vince Borges wrote:Check out the Phenix X10 or X12. They do come in a spinning modle too, that a lot of guys are realy liking for small jerkbaits. Heres the link: http://www.phenixrods.com/products/fres ... hing-rods/
The s stands for spinning modle. Also here is a link to Tackle tours review of the rod: http://tackletour.com/reviewphenixx10.html

Gary Dobyns just came out with a composite rod with both carbon fiber and glass reports are that they are awesome!! I have last years Dobyns 684cb and I love it great for smaller jerkbaits cranks and topwaters
I would give the new Dobyns 705CB a look if you have any dealers in your area

Re: glass jerkbait rod
Wel if you aren't looking to buy a expensive rod but want something decent i use a St Croix glass rod for my pointers it works great i throw 10-14# floro and use a high speed curado so i can let it rip. I have been experimenting with a 6'8" avid series graphite rod too and it is lighter in weight so sometimes i perfer it over the glass. Whatever you choose let us know.
