Crappiebasser Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 I have a Shimano Citica 5.0:1 that needs a new rod. I will use it to fish mainly medium to deep cranks and 1/2 and up spinner baits. What do you guys suggest for $50-$80? Also should I look for graphite or fiberglass since it's mainly for crank baits? Quote
uicdent11 Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 7'0 MH BPS Cranking Stick, especially when they are on sale for $40. I have never used a St. Croix Premier cranking rod, but a lot of people on here like them for a good inexpensive rod. Quote
-nick- Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 I have the premier cranking a love it but with your price range only 10 dollars more you can get a mojo cranking rod that I'm sure is a great rod as well. If not the BPS crankin stick is the way to go. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted April 13, 2009 Super User Posted April 13, 2009 In that price range, BPS Crankin' Stick. Quote
egolfer Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 For deep cranking i have been using the St. Criox Triumph in 7' Medium for the past couple of years. Works great for about 60-70$ Quote
Blade-Runner Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Agreed w/ above suggestions. In that price range, the Premier would be about the top of the line. I would just cut it off as under 100$ and get a Premier cranking rod. Of course, the BPS crankin' stik is a great mid-range choice, and even the older Berkley Lightning Rods (IM6) made great crankbait rods (I had a 7' MH that was outstanding for 3/8 oz and up cranks, DD22's, and Ledgebusters)...
