Ok guys, I am new here and fairly new to fishing, but I LOVE it. I have traded a decade long drug habit for a NASTY fishing habit..... LOL... Which is a good thing, So my question is, I am looking to get a new crankbait rod. I will probably be getting a Abu Garcia Veritas rod. I need help with getting the right rod. It will be my only crankbait rod for awhile so I want it to be versitile as far as what type of crankbaits it will handle. I need help with the length selection and action selection. Also, any input on what other applications I may be able to use this rod for as well. Thanks for any and all replies in advance.
