Siebert Outdoors Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 CBR906C Length: 7'6" Power: Pieces: 1 Casting Anyone have this Cranking rod? I'm looking for a rod that can throw 1/2oz traps and dd22 or deeper divers that are approx 1 oz. How does it perform for you? Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 I use this rod for all my rattle trap and deep diving crankbait apllications. The rod loads nice and can launch those lures a mile. The only thing I could say bad about this rod is that I wish the back handle was a little longer. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted February 13, 2009 Author Posted February 13, 2009 What size traps you mostly throw? Reason for asking right now I throw a 7' rod and I can cast the lure farther then I can get a good hookset at. I'm hoping I can increase hookset distance by atleast 20 ft or more. Ultra clear water.

fathom Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 the 906 is pretty close to the 845...great for 1/2 oz. traps...but, in my hands, not the ideal rod for the fat free shads and dd-22's. you may wanna look at the 847...you may not need a longer rod as much as you need a heavier power. Quote
Bronzefly Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I have a CBR 906 paired with a Calais DC7 for lipless cranks - the casting distance is absolutely insane and the rod hasn't let me down on hooksetting abilities. I also wish the handle was longer, but it is an ideal lipless crank rod for me. I will throw 1/4 to 3/4 oz. traps on this setup with no trouble at all. I'm not crazy about this rod for deep cranks, however. It handles them "ok" but I like other rods for this app. Quote
