Baddy Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 To avoid spending tons of money on specific technique setups, I am looking for a rod to cover most uses for jigs. What length, action and power would be suitable for casting and flipping various jig sizes/styles. Also I am looking for a crankbait rod that also can handle 1.5's up to deep divers like the 6xd. Again what specs would suffice? Basically what I am asking is what two rods would you have to cover all your jig and crankbaits uses. Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted January 22, 2013 Super User Posted January 22, 2013 7'6 MH Veritas is a decent and affordable jig rod. Quote

Crappiebasser Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 What's your price range for each? For jigs I like my Cumara A 72 MHXF for cranks I use an Avid 7' MHM. Quote
bassinbrian Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Jigs: St Croix 7' MH/fast.......pick your price point Crankbaits: St Croix 7' MH/Mod...........again, pick how much you want to spend. Exactly! Though any brand in those will work to Quote

Baddy Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 I was looking at the 7'6 mh bps crankin stick but noticed it had a fast action but was a blend of graphite and fiberglass. Anybody used them Quote
KDW96 Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 The crankin stick is great crankbait rod. I have 3 (2 mh &1 m) 7ft. Never had a problem with them. Quote
Sherlock 60 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I was looking at the 7'6 mh bps crankin stick but noticed it had a fast action but was a blend of graphite and fiberglass. Anybody used them I use one for deep crankin' and like it at lot. It says it is fast, but it seems to be a medium action to me. Lots of give in the tip. Quote
Super User Teal Posted January 25, 2013 Super User Posted January 25, 2013 The Bps crankin stik has a good following. Dont let the four letter word "fast" scare you. Alot of guys that i fish with use them for cranking and they are super satisfied. Hopefully a few guys will chime in that used them before. Quote
upnorthbassin Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 The Powell Diesel crank rod is great for the money. For jig rods I think certain MH rods depending on the brand/model are a bit underpowered to throw the heavier jigs. I would like a 7' MH Mod for cranking and a 7' MH or H Fast or XF for jigs. Quote
jhoffman Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I personally would divide the money in half and get one rod for each. A rod doesnt have to cost $100 to perform well. If you favor one technique over the other dedicate more money to that rod and less to the other. Quote
