Crankbait rod

[HockeyMan]

Try to stick with softer action 7' rods. The slower action allows you to play the fish better without the fish throwing the bait. Treble hooks can work their way out of the fish's mouth and when the fish jumps a stiff rod can catapult the bait free. I tend to like slower retrieve reels as well. I can get impatient so a 5.1:1 is just right for me. Dont get me wrong, I love my high speed reels, but not for cranks.

I too am looking for a crank bait rod. I had two crank bait rods but sold them to reduce the overall arsenal. I am thinking about the Fenwick 50/50 (half glass/half graphite).
