Hey guys. This will be my first post on these forums. Last year I got pretty big into crankbait fishing. or should I say crankbait buying. Ive been an avid Senko bass fisher for a few years and am not afraid to spend money if the purchase is worth it. I ended up buying the St Croix legend tournament Teaser rod and outfitting it with a Abu Garcia Revo Premier and this set up has been amazing. Ive tried out the 20 or so crankbaits ive bought with this rod and it has not been a positive experience. Obviously this is not a crank bait rod so down to the question. st croix legend tournament TBC72MM or st croix mojo bass MBGC74MM for crankbait fishing? Money isn't necessarily an issue unless the increase in price is not worth it. thanks for reading my post!

 

go with the legend tourney, much nice rod than mojo bass. better blank, components, etc

How do we feel about the 3rd generation Revo winch for 199.99. is there a much better reel out there for the money?

The legend tournament 72mm is a really whippy rod meaning it wont handle the larger 1/2 cranks as well as the MHM. Its a great 1.0 and 1.5 rod but anything more would be better suited for a heavier rod

I like this rig:
