guisingerevan Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I'm looking for a rod to use for squarebills and lipless cankbaits. I have a few veritas and vendettas but I don't think they are the right rods, and I'm looking to a different brand rod. Any suggestions? Rod must be under 7'3" and under $150. Thanks! Quote
Smallmouth Hunter Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 There are a lot of rods you could use for this. Graphite or glass or composite? This will help narrow it down. Quote

Delaware Valley Tackle Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I have a graphite M/Mod-fast that you may like. It's a custom I built as a display model. Call me if you want details. Quote
Flippinhook Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Powell 684cb if u can find one .. It throws 1.5's flawlessly and traps 1/2 oz and under also an awesome jerkbait rod and u won't find a better topwater rod ... I have 3 of them ...u don't ever lose a fish on it and it has enough back bone to handle big fish easily .. I fish lake fork and have hauled in numerous bass over 8lbs Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Powell squarebill rod. It's 6'9" h/mf. It will handle squarebills, lipless, and spinnerbaits well! Quote

Super User WIGuide Posted March 14, 2014 Super User Posted March 14, 2014 I've heard some good things about the St. Croix Mojo Target Cranker. There's a review for it on ***, type in St. Croix in their search box and it'll be the first link. Quote
Chance_Taker4 Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Denali Jadewood or the Kovert. The Kovert IMHO is the best rod on the market for $150 or under. But if you want to stay at around $99 then go with the Jadewood. The Jadewood has been out longer and has more technique specific models than the Kovert as well. But a 7' MH Kovert would be my first choice. Quote
E73Bass Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Daiwa Tatula 7' M/R or 7'1" MH/R or 7'2" MH/R Can you tell me the exact handle length b/w these 3 rods from butt to back of reel seat. (do not want the reel seat included...just the actual handle size) Quote
