jazzy0017 Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I need a new cranking set up. I cant afford more then one so I cant have a shallow running crankbait rod and a deep running crankbait rod. I'm looking for the best all around cranking rod for $150. Right now I'm really leaning towards the KVD tour glass crankin rods. I love the moderate action and it has a great tip to it. Has anyone ever used these or what do you recommend. I'm open to anything but I throw alot more lipless cranks then deep cranks. Right now my pick would be the KVD tour rod 7'0 MH with a moderate action. Any info would be appreciated! Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted July 6, 2011 Super User Posted July 6, 2011 How deep do you usually fish? Any type of cover? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted July 7, 2011 Super User Posted July 7, 2011 The Avid AVC70MM is the ticket. MSRP is above your target, but with a little effort and shopping around, you might be able to pick one up for about $125 delivered. I have this rod matched to a CH 50MG and it is THE BOMB! Quote

I have this rod matched to a CH 50MG and it is THE BOMB! 95% of the time im 3-20ft. If I had to say where am I most I would about 5-17ish. But Ive heard good things about both. I dont know which one to choose! Quote
dude loves to fish Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 I would suggest looking at the Kistler Magnesium rod. I have a 7' cranking rod that I have had for several years and to me it is the perfect rod for cranking. It has mod-fast action and it's as light as a feather. Quote
collegefishing12 Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 I throw the 7'2" skeet crank rod and love it. I have tried a couple of the other skeet rods and they do not compare. For the price, I don't think they can be beat. Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 A 7' M/M BPS Carbonlite would suite you well. IMO, the best cranking rod for the money. Heck, I like it better than the Powell and Avid I have used. Quote

I have read and have heard too many good things about it because of where I work to not try it out. I hope I love it so I can get more of the tour rods! Thanks for all the info though, I appreciate it! Quote

Sounds like a good choice and I only handled the rods in BPS but they were very light and let us know what you think of it after you have fished it for awhile. Quote
