I know this is a "late" reply, and you have already purchased the Tatula. However if you still might be looking for a spinning rod for crank baits, give the Powell Endurance 723 CB Glass MMF a look. Here is the description of the rod from the Powell website: "This rod can be summed up with one word—unique. Offering a forgiving mod-fast action, we’ve designed this baby as the perfect reaction bait spinning rod. If you like to throw smaller square bills, topwaters, and jerkbaits, this glass/composite stick provides a very interesting option."
