New Crankbait Rod. Or No?

[bigpikeguy]

Well for one if you are using a heavy rod for cranking that is not usually a good thing. you need a rod with a little less backbone in it for cranks. if you use a heavy rod when a fish strikes and you jerk it is likely that you will rip the lure out of the fishes mouth because the rod is already loaded up with the weight of the crank coming through the water. So with that being said go with a lighter action rod to compensate for the strike of the fish. As for what rod to go with, what are you willing to spend????
