RedHeadAngler Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 So i've been looking around for a good crankbait setup. Right now Bass Pro has a crankin stick and abu garcia orra 2 winch combo for $150. I'm just wondering if this would be a good beginner setup for crankbaits and I would also like some advice on gear ratio and rod length/power/action that would handle most crankbaits. here is a link to the combo: http://www.basspro.com/Abu-Garcia-Orra-2-Winch-Reel/Bass-Pro-Shops-Crankin-Stick-Baitcast-Combo/product/1410170740311/ Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted November 28, 2015 Super User Posted November 28, 2015 All depends on what you're doing. Are you looking to do more deep cranking or fishing more squarebill/ lipless baits? Quote
RedHeadAngler Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 Mostly squarebills and medium divers could a 5.4:1 reel cover it? Thats what the combo comes with and it would save me some money by buying the combo. Quote
Super User WRB Posted November 28, 2015 Super User Posted November 28, 2015 MH, 7' = all around cranking rod, gear ratio anywhere from 5:1 to 6.3:1. Tom 3 Quote

Super User gulfcaptain Posted November 29, 2015 Super User Posted November 29, 2015 I'd second Tom's post. Quote

Fisher-O-men Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 7' Medium. You want some give to the rod using small trebles. Decent combo! Quote
tholmes Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 7' Medium. You want some give to the rod using small trebles. Decent combo! I agree^. I prefer a medium power rod for squarebills and shallow to medium cranks. That combo would be pretty sweet! Tom Quote
