Also does anyone have an idea for a rod to be short enough to jerk strip on foot?
Not sure I'd go short on the rod, it could be difficult to pick up/lay down that kind of line for frequent casting. The longer lever and rod stroke would be much more practical. You'd also likely get a bit more backbone in the butt section of a longer rod, whereas short, light rods have near nothing there to work with.
Could work the way you describe doing it, but it'd be a tough balance to achieve and be very limiting on just how heavy of a sink tip you could use.
