NMadBassin Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Looking for suggestions for 2 different cranking rods under 90$ each. One to throw 8-15 foot divers and another to throw 15 up to big 10xd cranks. Anything helps as I am not very familiar with crankbait rods. Need something that will allow me to deflect off of the stumps or rip rap I'm often fishing cranks around. Thanks. Quote
CroakHunter Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Look into a cabelas tournament zx. I have the 7'5 medium heavy and have thrown everything to 1/2 ounce rattle traps up to 10xd's Quote
Cak920 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 If you wanna go cheap. I like my old ugly sticks and Berkeley lightning rods. They're about 40 bucks each not including a reel Quote
Big Swimbait Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 The Lightning Rod Shock is a great CB rod for the money. A lot of backbone but enough flex for treble hook baits. 1 Quote
IndianaOutdoors Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 I have a Fenwick Lunker Stik 7'3" mh moderate for my deeper cranks. It was $80 on Amazon. It's a composite/fiberglass rod. It's whippy at the tip but has good backbone. I can launch DT-10s and 15s pretty good with it. I have only had it for a couple months but I have yet to have a fish come unhooked on this rod. I also have a lightning rod shock M spinning rod that I use for lighter cranks, mostly small squarebills. It works well for me and they can be had very cheap from FFO tackle. Quote

Super User Columbia Craw Posted October 3, 2017 Super User Posted October 3, 2017 The new Dobyns Colt 705CB would make a great rod for your 8-15' range. At 79 bucks it's a great option. There's a recent eval on the Dobyns website. Quote
tander Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Look at the Lews David Fritts Perfect Crankbait rod. They have a bunch of different actions and lengths under $90. Quote
