If anyone is interested, I have that NRX 842S for sale in the flea market.

Look for a Megabass Orochi XX Shakey head rod. Love mine.

I LOVE my Shimano Conquest 100HG. Beautiful, solid, smooth, should last forever, effortless retrieve, did I mention beautiful?

Nichols spinnerbaits look similar

Blasphemy! That said, I cant seem to get rid of anything. I get attached to EVERYTHING I own. I'm a bit of a hoarder. Let me know what you have.

Ok, then you gotta decide. I gave you a good option. Have you researched this anywhere else but here?

Well, that helps. They make dedicated cranking rods in that Daiwa Tatula XT rods too. Check TW

I really dont know, but I do know that Fenwick always made a nice rod. Your biggest issue is the dual purpose techniques. I feel the Japanese companies do a better job of making a more versatile rod. Maybe someone else can comment of the Fenwick.

$99.99 and you should be able to get 10% off from a forum vendor. The Daiwa Tatula XT Casting Rods deliver tournament-proven performance at a price that won’t break the bank. Daiwa’s Zero G design makes the blanks incredibly lightweight, while also providing serious hook-setting power, and Daiwa’s exclusive HVF carbon blank technology delivers incredible sensitivity, as well as, optimum actions for a variety of techniques. The blanks also feature Daiwa’s X45 Bias graphite fiber construction that helps them resist twisting for less stress on the rod, greater strength, and increased hook-setting power. Premium Fuji Aluminum Oxide Guides span each blank and offer serious durability as well as increased casting performance. Fuji ACS Reel Seats provide a comfortable base for your reel, while also remaining lightweight, and EVA split grip handles balance out each rod perfectly. Perfect for a wide range of bass fishing applications, the Daiwa Tatula XT Casting Rods do it all for a great price. -Zero G Design - lightweight with hook-setting power -X45 bias graphite fiber construction -HVF carbon construction -Optimum action with rigidity and strength -Fuji Aluminum Oxide Ring Guides -Fuji ACS Reel Seats Daiwa Tatula XT Casting Rod 7' Medium Its a fast action with lure ranges from 1/4oz-3/4oz so it will cover a lot.

Depends. Generally, medium-MH is used for cranks and MH-H for senkos, worms, jigs. The lure rating of a rod will tell you a lot too. How about the new Daiwa Tatula XT rods?

You can use a mod/fast-fast action rod for shallow/squarebill cranks and worms/senkos.

link?

Thats a tuff one. The problem is that crankbaits need a moderate action and senkos need a faster action. The reason I asked for the budget is because I think Megabass Orochi XX rods are very versatile. You CAN use one rod that will cover many techniques. What kind of cranks do you have in mind? deep? mid? shallow?

Whats your budget?

Only in my dreams. lol

Spinnerbaits have always been a confidence bait for me from day 1.

I have used 10lb invizx before on a spinning reel with zero issues, but I prefer 8lb.

uni

The higher end Quantum PT reels are great

Look for a used MB XX perfect pitch

My turn. Finally, all my boxes came in from the Labor day sale.

15lb Invizx for me.

where?

Good to hear. I'm contemplating getting one.
