I have a fury 705 CB and its a d**n awesome crankbait rod for the price. I did just pick up a St Croix LG crankbait rod and its the best crankbait rod I have used...

I have a NRX 852 Casting and a NRX 852 Spinning, they are both super sensitive and I think they are equal.

Went fishing early morning on the 4th and was fishing a point, was nailing some smallmouth bass off a point about 20 feet away from the shore line and this couple on these kayaks (not fishing) rows right through the middle of my boat and the shoreline, I was confused at first and wondering why they didn't just go around me. Anyways I got into it with them and said a few things I probably shouldn't have, but someone needs to right? Now I have no problem with kayakers and have met quite a few fisherman that have common courtesy, the problem I have is the younger 20's individuals that just go out to paddle around the lake.

What time do you prefer to fish and what do you think is better?

I couldn't afford the fiberglass boat I wanted So I ended up with Aluminum, but I do love how light it is and how good it is on gas and easy to tow.

I have had a K for about two weeks now and its been excellent, I use mine for crankbaits and it casts medium sized cranks very well, its very smooth. I added ZPI spool bearings and two bearings to each knob, it cast just fine without the ZPI's though. Its no Metanium but it casts good

Got the rod today, its pretty sweet and she has a nice thick rear end (the backbone is twice as thick as graphite) the build is excellent and the bend is incredible. I'm not sure what the weight is of the Dobyns Fury 705CB but the St-Croix feels lighter but it is a little tip heavy, I put a Curado K on the rod and it feels pretty d**n good. As for sensitivity, I haven't fished it yet but dragging the tip across my carpet feels the same as the Dobyns. I'm going fishing tomorrow and will report back on how it feels, Hopefully I can find some boiling wipers :big grin: I bet this rod can launch a 1/2oz lipless crankbait. A beautiful honey color.

I just ordered the st croix LG MH. Can't wait until Wednesday

After looking more on the St Croix LT Glass rod, it looks more of a honey color vs orange. I think and hope its just the cameras used that make it look orange If not I will have a Halloween rod, LT glass with Curado K

Has anyone used the st-croix LTB big cranker?

I'm also looking at the St-Croix LTB Big Cranker.... But not sure if I want the Big Cranker or the St-croix LT Glass.

That is kinda what I like about the rod, it looks traditional but not to orange like the those awful carrot stix LOL. I like my crankbait rod to stick out vs all my other rods that look the same...

What st croix crankbait rod do you have?

I might be ordering the St Croix Legend glass MH later tonight...or the Megabass Orochi XX flatside special.

I'm just looking for a good all around bad ass crankbait rod Most used- Duo Realis M65, Megabass Deep x150, Jackall TN 60, Jackall Cherry DD, Lucky Craft LV500 What is your favorite crankbait rod?

Sounds like the orochi xx swingfire might be exactly what I'm looking for then if the flatside is a stiffer rod. Although I do throw a lot of LC LV 500's Right now I'm using the Dobyns fury 705 CB

What is your favorite crankbait rod? I'm looking for a new one. There is a few I been eyeing... Megabass Orochi XX flat side special St Croix Legend glass 7'2" medium (never tried all glass) Gloomis IMX Pro 843 CBR

Curado K for cranking

Never back reel, never needed to due to excellent drags offered.

Buy a Shimano

FG knot, but if I'm in a hurry then I will use a alberto which is not very often. As for the tag end, I burn the excess braid with a bic.

I use both. I love my spinning rods and prefer them for drop shot, plus I get to the bottom faster when using spinning.

Pline TCB 8, fins 40g I have tried almost all of them and the two listed are currently my favorites.

Bantam oil is what I use.
