Thoughts on rod weight

It's more of a bass stick but it will do the job with some deft rodwork. In all reality if you aren't switched on when a jack jumps on you'll get smoked before you will even have to worry about it. My advice? Sell it to Jords and buy a more suitable rod if you are going to be solely chasing jacks.

"Jacks" come in all shapes and sizes. I got smoked the other day in the canals on my bait caster with 12lb leader and a tight drag , the rod was considerably heavier than that line though . May have been a jack may not.

Asking such a broad question is going to receive some varied answers I'd imagine. I've read heaps of reports on here of guys catching big jacks on 3lb line , others use 40lb would depend on where you hooked one and how big amongst the others 20 variables
