LVbassman85 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I will be getting a new rod and reel in the next week or so. I currently use 2 7'M, 3 7'MH and 1 6'8"M spin. I know I need a good crank bait rod but im getting a really good deal from Bass Pro Shops on any combo of my choice here real soon. I don't want to waste it on a cranking stick that I could get myself for not that much money. I want to use my upcoming discount on something a bit more expensive so that I get the best bang for my buck. I fish tournaments here in Las Vegas with a local club and im just not sure what I should get next. I have my 3 7'MH rods that I use all the time, 2 of witch I use for jigs and creatures and one for spinnerbaits/chaterbaits. I have 2 7'M rods I use for crankbaits/jerkbaits and topwater biats like poppers and spooks. And last I have my 6'8"MEF spinning for my drop shot rod. I cant seem to make up my mind on what I should get next. Any advice and or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all. Quote
HogsAndHawks Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Not sure what your budget is, but the new Avid X by St Croix looks mighty nice. Id get the MH crankin version! Not sure if your BPS has them in stock yet, my local one doesnt. Retail is 200 i believe. If thats too high of a price let me know what you want to spend. 1 Quote

Chief 2 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I have a wide assortment of rods also, but just picked up a 7'6" Heavy/Fast for an addition to my arsenal. I fish a lot of heavy cover so was looking for something a little beefier than my MH 7'. Quote
