Is it unreasonable to use use a 904c as a deep diving crankbait rod?

I don't want a "one trick pony" at this stage of the game.

I don't want to get a dedicated deep diver until I really know what I want

 

Thanks for putting up with these novice questions.....the game has changed a lot since I have been away.

What type of action does a 904c rod have? Some kind of moderate action would be better than fast IMO.

Mod/fast

Yes I think based on its specifications that should work just fine. You gotta two trick pony there.

Based on its lure ratings you should be able to throw some of the bigger cranks too if needed such as the SK 10xd

Can't speak for that particular rod, but cranking, particularly heavy/deep cranking sticks are one a the few truly specialized, application specific rods I own.  I'm not a fan of one trick ponies either, even with 40+ sticks to choose from, but cranking is a special deal.
