Penguino Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 So recently, I have been looking to get a dedicated crankin setup. As of now, I am looking at the Browning Silaflex rod which has Fuji AO guides and is made of Shoktek glass. Are there any other decent rods in the price range that I have mentioned (under 50$)? Quote
ABW Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Ethos rods from Academy seem very well made & they have Fujis. Quote
Cody21w Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Lightning rods, vendettas, and for 20 more, cabelas tournament ZX (on sale). I have those 3. Lightning rod for my River beater spinning Rod and vendetta for an extra jig and today I got the ZX. I'm sure the ethos is good too. I have the mettle reel and it's worth atleast double its price. All will do well but pick the one that you like the most. All people will tell you different things. Quote
kcdinkerz Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Powell diesel when on sale is around that range. I use mine for square bill, lipless, and medium divers. Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted February 21, 2015 Super User Posted February 21, 2015 Shimano Sellus for me, you can find for 50. Quote
robster80 Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 powell diesel. look around some places may hav it for 50 1 Quote
OnthePotomac Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 If you have a Gander Mountain near you check them out. They are selling the last model of their Tournament series for $50, marked down from $99.99. I looked at them the other day and they are really super light. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 21, 2015 Global Moderator Posted February 21, 2015 Ethos cranking rod from Academy.I have one and ot works just fine for squarebills to mid depth baits. Quote
Captain America Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Hey guys, I'm lookin for a crankbait rod, but I don't want to spend more than 50 bucks... I was wondering what rods you guys would recommend. Would an ugly stick work well? Quote
Penguino Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 Lol... I just started a topic in the Rod, Reels, Lines, and Knots forum about a crankbait rod under 50$. Quote
BasshunterJGH Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 x2 X2 what? I would probably get an abu garcia vengeance. Great rod right at $50. Quote

Super User Chris at Tech Posted February 22, 2015 Super User Posted February 22, 2015 In the past, Bass Pro would put their Crankin' Sticks on sale for $49.99 occassionally. Can't say I recall it lately, but then again I don't shop much at Bass Pro anymore. Quote
Josh Smith Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I really like the Cherrywood HD for cranking and a lot of other things. It's whippy enough to have a good tip action. For $20 you might as well give it a shot! I've just hauled Dad's old Lew's Speed Stick out, and will be trying it for cranking this year. Josh Quote
