I just wanted to let you all know that I noticed on the Cabelas website that the tournament zx rods are 69.00

Yup! Yall will see my like new *** Blacks on sale in the flea market soon! Love the ZX. Love love love it. They have a ZX model called a "Crankshaft" now too in addition to the standard casting and spinning models.

What is a crankshaft I don't see it on the site?

Just search "crankshaft" in the search bar on the Cabelas site. Should be the second option.

Anyone know if this is online only or in their stores as well?

Plan to head over to cabellas on Saturday  Would rather pick one up in person.

They always price match their online sales if you ask. They are usually marked properly though. 

I can happily say I just ordered a jig/worm rod online. I had picked these up in Cabelas before and really liked them. They may not be the best rod out there but for 69.00 I think they are an awesome deal. Of course I live in West Virginia so it will be months before I can even fish it haha

theyre good rods. love the grips. ive got the frog rod but debating on picking up the jerbait/topwater rod or the spinnerbait rod

I handled the spinnerbait rod in store and it was really nice. They all are. You could do a lot with that rod.

Handled them in store.  Seems like a great value @ that price point.

How does it compare to ganders gsx for 50$?

I'm grabbing the Frog rod tomorrow after work or on Saturday.  I've been waiting for this for awhile now.  These rods are easily worth their regular price, a real steal on sale!  Great rods!!  

I snagged the 7'1 M cranking rod in-store. Nice and flexy and the grip is cool. Can't wait to give this a whirl

I grabbed the 7'3" Frog rod from the same rack on my way home!  

Got them in tonight!

-7'1" MH/F Spinnerbait/Swim Jig; 6.4:1 Lew's Tournament Pro

-7'2" MH/XF Jig/Worm; 7.1:1 Lew's Tournament

-6'9" M/XF Jerkbait/Topwater; 6.4:1 Lew's Tournament

-7'3" H/F Frog rod; 7.1:1 Lew's Tournament Pro

-7'1" M/MF Crankbait; 5.1:1 multi-stop Lew's BB1 Pro

-6'10" M/XF Shakey Head; 3000 series Team Lew's Gold Speed Spin

I generally fish P-Line Floroclear in 12#, 15#, and/or 20# with the exception being 65# Power Pro on the frog rod. I'll probably use it for pitching as well.

I have a 7'1" H/M Tournament ZX Crankshaft series rod ordered and it should be in shortly. I will probably move the BB1 Pro over to it and buy a standard BB1 in the multi-stop 5.1:1 model for the crankbait rod I have now.

Weather is supposed to warm up a bit this weekend. Hopefully I can get out and try them. Can't wait.

As a heads up, I received my Crankshaft rod this afternoon. And it's not what I thought. The description had it as a 7'1" H and it is actually a 7'10" H. That won't fit in my boat by a long ways. Have to return it. But it's definitely a neat rod. Light weight for sure.

I though about returning it but I think I'll even exchange it for the 7' Crankshaft.

Just a heads up about the description.

They are on sale again as of today!  Not the new Crankshaft though.
