Bank4Bass Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 I'm looking at picking up a glass powell diesel and pairing it with a 6:4:1 Lew's speed spool for cranking. My only issue is the rod is a medium heavy and I am afraid it might have to much backbone. I will mainly be throwing 1/2 oz lipless and medium/shallow crabnks. With this tackle warehouse sale this is a hard combo to pass on. What does bass resource think? Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted July 4, 2014 Super User Posted July 4, 2014 My friend has one he uses for lipless cranks and square bill cranks, i picked it up and threw it awhile and it felt alright but I didn't hook anything. Quote
georgeyew Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 I think that will be perfect for your application. It is not overly stiff despite the MH rating. It has a nice bend. Quote
Bank4Bass Posted July 4, 2014 Author Posted July 4, 2014 Picked one up, couldn't pass up the deal @ tackle warehouse Quote
georgeyew Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Yeah, at $50 it is almost stupid not to get one. Quote

Will be throwing the same thing as you, 1/2 oz lipless cranks, I think it'll be perfect for them. Quote
