Fiberglass Crankin Rods?

[FishinPhil]

I have been thinking about getting a fiberglass cranking rod but I am having a hard time finding any. What companies make fiberglass cranking rods anymore? Would it be better to get a fiberglass rod or the newer graphite blend rods? Thanks guys.

Alot of companies are going back to making graphite rods. I hear great things about quantums KVD crankbait rods, as well as the Skeet reese crankin rods. There are also companies like Lamiglass, and browning still makes the silas for a good price. For deep diving crankbaits, I like an all glass rod. For medium divers and lipless crankbaits I like a composite or graphite with a very forgiving tip.

Some folks around here like the B&R out law rods.
I have to ask why do you want a glass rod? I read a lot of people use them because it slows the hook set time down some and there not a sensitive as carbon. I also read Using glass for cranks bait's started because some people are over anxious and they mess a lot of fish by setting the hook to fast or if they feel the bait touch something they will set the hook so hard it will brake there rod. Glass rods will flex more then carbon but they are heavier.
