Chance_Taker4 Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 I love the Shimano Clarus for any cranking or reaction type fishing and sensitive enough for plastics $79.99 Quote
MacP Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 TW has an Okuma EVX-A Cranking 7' M for 84 bucks. I really, really like those rods. Quote
Texas bassman Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Bps cranking stick. Caught me that baby on my avatar. I used a 7'6 med now I use a 7'6 medhvy. I caught all my crankbait bass on them this yr. Anything from a kvd 1.5 to a 6xd throws well. Quote

kickbasskid Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Hey I would check out the Denali Jadewood Crankbait rods! Valley Sports (Beat The Big Box Boys) has them on his site for just 100! Great rods at a great price and from a site sponsor as well! 1 Quote
Zach P Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Well since we are talking about the Crankin Stick what is everyone's go to specs on this model for lipless cranks? Also, has anyone used any of the shorter Crankin Stick specs for throwing jerkbaits? Quote
AMAC Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 I am looking to add a cranking rod to my collection. I do not use crankbaits that much so I do not want to invest too much money. Anywhere from 50-100 would be good. Also this is just an extra question. I fish a lot by docks so would this type of rod bee good for skipping? People talk about the soft tip needed from skipping. Or would I be better of using my med/heavy fast action rod? Although a soft tip is what you need for skipping dock you want a rod that is mh or h with a fast tip. With a 7 ft Denali Jadewood mh you will see that the rod really loads up in the first 2 ft or more and that really helps me slide jigs into dark corners of docks. As far as cranking you are going to want a medium rod with a moderate or slow tip to help fighting the fish. The slow tip give the fish and extra second to get the bait and reduces the likelihood of hooks tearing out of the mouth. With all that being said you can get a Denali Jadewood for $100 before shipping. I have been seeing a guy on this forum name Ron @ Valley Sports who has been saving guys some money so check him out.
