Super User smalljaw67 Posted April 20, 2012 Super User Posted April 20, 2012 Denali Jadewood series and Falcon BuCoo, bother very good rods. Quote
WookieeJedi Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Cabela's Classic 6'6" M. They are light, sensitve, durable and cheap. I use a M action, but some folks like a MH. The M action gives me less hang-ups and I seem to fish cleaner with it. Quote
SausageFingers Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Im partial to the Veritas Winch, 7'-0" M Quote

Super User smalljaw67 Posted April 21, 2012 Super User Posted April 21, 2012 Fenwick Elite Tech Smallmouth 6'10'' MH/Moderate Fast If you find a deal they are fantastic, I have that rod but they retail over 100 dollars. I also point out they are rated for 3/8 to 1oz and I would say it is spot on, a 1/4oz bait on that rod seems over matched but 3/8oz cranks and the rod loads up great and the feel is there. I would also point out this doesn't have a deep parabolic action either, instead to rod flexes equally along the length so you it still keeps a relatively fast tip, this is great for big cranks and deep cranks as the action and resistance of the bait doesn't make the rod overly flex when working them. I really like it for throwing Vision 110 and Rapala X-Rap XR10 jerkbaits on it. Quote

The American Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 The BPS crankin' sticks all seem to have a fast action, isn't it ideal for a crankbait rod to have a moderate-fast or moderate tip? Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted April 23, 2012 Super User Posted April 23, 2012 The BPS crankin' sticks all seem to have a fast action, isn't it ideal for a crankbait rod to have a moderate-fast or moderate tip? This is confusing but I'll try to explain. A lot of cranking rods that have a combination of graphite and fiberglass are a fast action but a fast action fiber glass blank is not the same as a fast action graphite blank. Lews makes a Tounament SL rod that is a graphite/composite mix listed as fast action but these rods have parabolic actions, they are a little faster than an all glass rod but still flex a lot for using cranks.

Megastink Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Powell Diesel 7' MH Glass. Powell makes the most lightweight, sensitive fiberglass you will EVER encounter. And, they are $70 (from TW with free shipping)! They do not come with a warranty, but for $70, who cares?????? Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 If i was buying today...it would be the Powell Diesel! Quote
NitroZ9 Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 You need to check out that Denali Jadewood cranking rod. I have one and I don't think you'll find a nicer rod for the money. Quote
John Stanton Posted April 25, 2012 Author Posted April 25, 2012 Is the skeet reese s-glass cranking rod good? Quote
Diggy Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Is the skeet reese s-glass cranking rod good? mixed reviews but I hear way more good than bad, the bad is usually weight issues Quote
stkbassn Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Powell Diesel for sure....I own the Powell Composite Deep Cranking rod and love it. I just got the Powell Diesel 7'2 MH rod and it's fantastic. I am 100% confident that the cranking version of the Diesel is one of the best cranking rods out there under $100. Get one and you'll want another one, I know I do. Quote
