I'm looking for a rod to go with a Lew's Tournament MG reel, I mostly fish with cranks. Rods on my list; Team Daiwa T, Quantum energy PT, Powell Diesel, Powell Diesel glass, Shimano Clarus Crankbait, Shimano Sellus Crankbait. I need help narrowing them down guys.

I don't own any of those rods, but some of the local stores have got the Shimano Sellus, Convergance, and Clarus cranking rods now, and from a pick up and look at in the store perspective, I was impressed with each, especialy the Convergance. They look to be good "bang for the buck" rods. What rod I did own that is not on your list for throwing shallow-med. depth baits was a BPS Cranking Stick, very nice rod, and one of the few I have gotten rid of that I wish I didn't. Personaly when i get inthe mood fo another cranking rod, it's going to be a tough call for me between the Cranking Stick and one of the Shimano's. HTH
