Di_ver_gent Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 I currently have a sr 734c with a tatula sv tw for an all purpose use. Im looking into buying another setup for specific techniques. Im leaning towards a crankbait rig. Is this a good area or would money be better spent elsewhere? I was thinking the CL 705c, Fr 705c or Lew's david fritts perfect crank 7' MH moderate 1/2-1 1/4. Havent decided on left retrieve reel yet but something in low 20" IPT?? Thanks for the help and advice Quote
Nelson Delaney Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 Do you have a budget in mind for the set up? Quote

Reason im leaning towards a crank setup right away the bass where biting around 17'-30' range. I want a decent setup hopefully $150-$175 cranking rig. Think the rods are decent i listed just haven't priced a reel yet. Quote

Dumbbassanglr Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 Look at your baits and also think about what type of fishing you do the most then buy a rod for that. If your think crankbait rod, ask yourself how many times you’ve fished a crankbait this year? How many crankbaits do you own? There is nothing worse than buying a rod because you want to fisha technique more and then not actually using it much. I speak from experience unfortunately. 1 Quote

It's pretty tough to get a crank-bait 17' feet deep and nearly impossible to get to 30'....just saying that because it may affect your choice if that is the main reason you are looking for a crank-bait rod. 1 Quote

Especially when casting. You can get one that deep when trolling but not just casting. I know there are guys here who can do it though, never ceases to amaze me the ability of some of our members.
