Do You All Have One Crankbait Rod, Or Two??

[zachb34]

I have a lipless crank bait rod and one for 10 feet and less nothing deep here to fish

[KevO]

I have four crankbait rods. 1 for squarebills, 1 for finesse cranking, 1 for medium depths, and 1 for deep divers. You could say I have 5 if you count my jerkbait rod.

Zero ! I throw any kind of lure, exposed hooks or not, on any kind of rod I want to, spinning of course. I hate decisions, I just like catching fish.

Same here, complicate things and I go home.

One, G.Loomis CBR 843. But I may see a need for a deeper driving rod in the future.

Not one of the choices, but I own 3 dedicated crankbait rods, and 2 others that I sometimes use for crankbaits and other baits.

If u have a Carolina rig rod, it can easily handle the deep cranks. I have 3, mainly because I like to fish allot of top water, one always has a Sammy or buzz tied on of the other two on is a medium bps crankin stick for square bills and shallow stuff the other a mh convergence for lipless and deep.

I have 3 CB rods. One for shallow cranks/squarebills(7'/2-6 ft/fast tip-6to1 gr). medium cranks(7'/10-14 ft/moderate tip-6to1 gr) and deep cranks(7'6"/16ft+/moderate tip/5to1 gr).

I've got 3. Shallow/Medium/Deep Divers. All Veritas Winch rods with parabolic action. I also still have my older 3 BPS Crankin Sticks which I can't give up.

one rod, but i only throw lipless and shallow diving cranks in ponds 8' or less. i use a falcon original spinning rod. i am looking to buy a heavier rod for the lipless cranks though

[(='_'=)]

very intresting info.... but, maybe if you could explain the difference between the rods you own, you could enlighten the newbees like me a little more. for example you could list your crankbait rods, and explain their use.

1) topwaters, XXXX rod, XX power, XX lenght

2) shallow cranks, XXXX rod, XX power, XX lenght

3) mid divers

4) deep divers

5) jerkbaits

maybe its asking too much, but it would be really helpful, at least for me, who uses a 6´6" M glass silaflex for all cranks except the very heavy ones, from topwaters to deep divers, lipless to squarebill to regular bill, i dont know better so i use the same rod for them....

1) topwaters, 6' 2" Med/X-Fast

2) shallow cranks, traps 7' Med/Fast

3) small, light divers 7' Med/Moderate

4) larger divers 7' Med-heavy/Moderate

5) jerkbaits 6' 2" Med/X-Fast
