Quick question I rarely throw deep cranks and the Alabama rig  can I get one rod for both ? Or is it a must to get two bcus of actions I'm looking at the mojo bass and premier rods 

Same rod for both?   My answer is maybe, maybe not, probably not.   If I'm throwing deep diving cranks, I'm throwing 10 or 12 lb mono or fluorocarbon or maybe a light braid.   If I'm throwing an A-Rig I'm most likely using 65 lb braid.

My current deep/medium cranking rod is a 7'4" BPS Extreme.  They call it a MH, in my opinion it leans way toward the medium side of medium/heavy.

My current A-Rig rod is either a 7'9" Heavy Action Fenwick AETOS or an old 7' Team Diawa Muskie rod.  My A-Rigs generally weigh in between  2 1/2 to 4 ounces, so the shorter old muskie rod does all right.   I get more distance out of the longer rod, but it is more of a pain to transport in my truck so  more often than not I'm using the shorter rod, just because it fits in my truck better.

By the way the 7'9" AETOS also doubles as my frog rod.   With 65 lb braid, it throws a 3/8 to 3/4 oz frog MUCH better than the shorter rod does.   As always be mindful that these suggestions are my way of solving my problems on the waters that I fish on. 

Your waters may vary.   Make your decisions based on your particular fishing situations.

 

I agree, I like a firm rod and heavy braid for The Rig, a soft rod with lighter line for deep diving crankbaits.

Honest answer is ~ probably not.

By simply looking at the difference in weight between each presentation - especially as it relates to casting, may tell the story best.

An A-Rig type deal, depending on make / model, jig head weight & baits selected is routinely going require a pretty stout stick.

And I think you already know what type of action most prefer for deep cranking and it's usually not described as stout. 

Of course, one can fish any bait on any rod but it may be unrealistic to expect matched & balanced performance from one rod for those two particular applications.

thanks any suggestions on a low end rod for both of those applications ?
