Crankbait spinning rod

[LakeWinni]

Looking for a really nice spinning rod for crankbaits, don't care about price just want the mac daddy. What's out there?

 

Thanks

There's a number of them at TW

You're looking at the Moderate or Moderate-Fast rods...a Medium-Heavy or a Medium power if your cranks are smaller/lighter. Range from $50 to almost $300...

I have a Cashion Icon crankbait spinning rod that I love.  I use it for 1.0 sized squarebill, and shad raps mostly!

cool, how did you get to the filter? Where do you click and can you do it for baits to? Like show only 3-4" topwater or? Thanks!

Far as I know - they only have the filter on the rods.

Click on the 'Filter' icon and it gives you options.

Baitcasting rods have a filter too.

   There's a rod that's not on TW; it's a St. Croix spinning rod from the Legend Tournament Walleye family. Don't let the word "walleye" dissuade you; this rod is nicknamed a "deep cranker", and at that it excels. It's 7', MH/Moderate, 1/4-3/4 oz. lures and 6-12 lb. line test.

 

   Good luck!            jj

St croix legend glass spinning.

Another vote for the St. Croix Legend Glass.  Great rods for the job.

Very good advice. I bought that rod to use on Erie for smallmouth jerk baits. It handled LC pointer 128 's which weigh an ounce. Very versatile rod & keeps those trebles hooked up. Also don't be afraid to look at saltwater rods to expand your search for spinning rods for freshwater applications.

If it's for square bills and lipless crankbaits, a M/F would work well too.

If I was getting the top of the line, I'd go with the St. Croix Legend Glass.

 

I don't crank with a spinning rod quite enough to drop that much coin on one though, so I opted for the Falcon Bucco SR 7' M/M spinning rod. It fishes 1.0 size squarebills and shad rap style baits very nice as well as small jerkbaits. I've caught lots of good fish with it and would have no issues purchasing another.
