jmill_fishing Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 So I'm wondering if u guys have any suggestions for a cranking rod dedicated to throwing 6XDs, and 3/4oz lipless cranks. Unfortunately being a student I can't afford a really nice cranking rod so I've set my budget at $120. Ive considered the Lews David fritts 7'6" glass composit rod but idk anyone who has used it personally. What do u guys think? Quote

Super User smalljaw67 Posted August 22, 2017 Super User Posted August 22, 2017 Fenwick Lunker stik, 7'8" MH-MF or the 8'0" MH-MF. $90 and would be close to perfect for the 6XD. 1 Quote
Jason Penn Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 i've got a 7'9 mh crank rod by a company out of florida, that you can buy new for $60. i don't deep crank much, so i didn't want to spend much money on that setup. it's a got a good mod bend, not too stiff, and balances well with a <6oz reel. the deepest i've thrown with it so far is a dt16, and it had no problems with that bait.

Bulletman20XD Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Lews TP1---The best $99 I have ever spent on a crankbait rod! I throw anything I have with it including 10XDs!! Quote
IndianaFinesse Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Quantum Tour kvd crankin rod, 7'3" medium heavy. It is an S-glass graphite composite, which gives it a more parabolic bend than pure graphite, and the S-glass does not have a backbone like e-glass does, giving it even more cushion without feeling like a wet noodle. Can easily be found new on eBay for under $100, and I bought mine new for $60. Quote
