Favorite long casting cranking rod

[Spider04]

What are your favorite rods for LONG casts that still have good sensitivity?

[DJD]

I use 7ft Loomis Rods in a 3 power and feel that works best for me.

I like a 6.6 medium action Basspro Extreme and also a 5.6 medium action Eagle claw. I have found the reel and line make a big difference in distance as well.

Try the AIRRUS WILDLIFE CASTING in the WLC701 Med Hvy it is an outstanding sensitive rod

Believe it or not I like Ugly Stick lite for crank baits, It has a good sensative tip for the money, they are only 40.00, I use johnny morris elite for worming and jigging.

If youre wanting a rod to launch a deep running crankbait you should go with a longer rod, i prefer a 7'6" Medium Airrus Co-Matrix. If youre needing more of a football jig rod or a rigging/big worm rod I would still go with the 7'6" but I would step up to a Medium Heavy action Co-Matrix. I just prefer the 7'6" because I do tend to fish quite a bit of deeper offshore structure and it just takes up more slack and propels your lure farther on the initial cast.

I would go with at least a 7 footer if I were looking get as much distance as possble. I have several different brands, and I have found that for casting distance, the lengh makes the most difference.

I agree with Col Forbin, I have 3 G-loomis crankin rods all over 7 foot. My favorite is the 7-6. Unbelievable feel,balance,control and light weight.

i like 7 foot rods and the bps cranking stick is good and so is the kvd crankin rod. both rods work great have good feel to. both are fiberglass and graphite mixed.

Shimano Crucial 7' MH Medium Fast.

Will cover about all your cranking needs -- from small to large cranks.

Limber enough to launch small cranks, but still has enough backbone for large cranks. Very efficient rod.
