I am heading up to Michigan in June and will be fishing a sunken island that is 12-15 ft deep. I am looking at buying some cranks that will get down to 15+ so that I can bump them on the rocks along the bottom. Since this would be my first foray into deep cranks I don't want to invest any money into a rod and reel until I know that this is something I will stick with. I am looking at buying the KVD 6XD, 5XD, Luhr Jensen Hotlips Express and Bomber Fat Free Shad 3/4 oz. The following are my combos: Curado 50e paired with a 7ft MM gander mountain rod; curado e7 paired with a 6'6 MF Allstar rod; curado e7 paired with a 7' MH Carrot Stix; GSX 5:3 Spinning Reel paired with a Shimano 7' MF Shimano Clarus. I know that I may be in for a full workout, but what would be your suggestion if you were going to use these cranks? Any help would be appreciated.

Any of your reels matched up with the 7' MM will be just fine.
If you decide to buy a technique specific rod for deep divers
down the road, look at the Lamiglas SR705R which pops up
on our Flea Market occasionally. You should be able to pick
one up for $150-$175.
