To avoid spending tons of money on specific technique setups, I am looking for a rod to cover most uses for jigs. What length, action and power would be suitable for casting and flipping various jig sizes/styles.  Also I am looking for a crankbait rod that also can handle 1.5's up to deep divers like the 6xd.  Again what specs would suffice?  Basically what I am asking is what two rods would you have to cover all your jig  and crankbaits uses.  

7'6 MH Veritas is a decent and affordable jig rod.

Jigs: St Croix 7' MH/fast.......pick your price point

 

Crankbaits: St Croix 7' MH/Mod...........again, pick how much you want to spend.

Jig - 7' - 7'6" Medium Heavy -fast action

Crankbait 7ft Medium Moderate action

What's your price range for each? For jigs I like my Cumara A 72 MHXF for cranks I use an Avid 7' MHM.

Exactly! Though any brand in those will work to

dobyns 735c - jigs & frogs & texas rigs etc - $250 msrp 

st croix mojo mass 7ft mh f   -- jigs frogs texas rigs spinnerbaits etc - $100 msrp -

dobyns 765CB Glass. - crank baits - $250 msrp

st croix mojo glass 7 4 medium - crankbaits -$120 msrp

st croix mojo glass 78 med heavy -deep crankbaits -$120

 

( find a good glass rod for cranking  I suggest a Mh to cover all depths)

I was looking at the 7'6 mh bps crankin stick but noticed it had a fast action but was a blend of graphite and fiberglass.  Anybody used them

The crankin stick is great crankbait rod. I have 3 (2 mh &1 m) 7ft. Never had a problem with them.

I use one for deep crankin' and like it at lot. It says it is fast, but it seems to be a medium action to me. Lots of give in the tip.

The Bps crankin stik has a good following. Dont let the four letter word "fast" scare you. Alot of guys that i fish with use them for cranking and they are super satisfied. Hopefully a few guys will chime in that used them before.

The Powell Diesel crank rod is great for the money. For jig rods I think certain MH rods depending on the brand/model are a bit underpowered to throw the heavier jigs. I would like a 7' MH Mod for cranking and a 7' MH or H Fast or XF for jigs.

I personally would divide the money in half and get one rod for each. A rod doesnt have to cost $100 to perform well. If you favor one technique over the other dedicate more money to that rod and less to the other.

Check out the powell diesel line,,,,
