[kbkindle]

kb here reading a artical about  kvd in the new bassin mag   says  he only uses a fiberglass baitcasting rod for crankbaits in   6' 6" or 7'  quantum   do you guys use fiberglass rods for this kind of fishing or stay with grafite  he give a few advantages for cranking fiberglass   i have never owned a fiberglass rod. looking up what kind of rod as far as action and tip action  they say they(quantum)  does not make this rod any more   out of production????.  is there a advantage to a fiberglass rod in your opinion  if so what brand  and action do you use  or is this more of the same bs     kb

I have a quantum heat rod that is from the 80's? and it casts and loads up better on any bait with a treble hook(it is a graphite fiberglass composite). These are also more sensitive to this kind of fishing than a graphite rod.The tip flexes a lot more than a graphite rod so they do take some getting used to, But overall the 'glass rods are the best for cranks, etc...

I have a St. Croix fiberglass (6'6" , med/mod , 1/4-5/8 oz. spinning).

I use braid with this set up and have very good luck keeping the fish from throwing the hook because of the fiberglass rod.
