Which would you choose for an “all around cranking rod”? 
Fenwick Lunkerstik 7’3 MH/M

OR

Okuma EVX B cranking rod 7’ M/M-MF (I’ve heard they run heavy so I’m going down to the Medium)

In that price range I would choose this:

I have the 6'9 MH and I'm thinking about buying another since they are discontinued.  

I had the 7’3” TCS rod and had to get it replaced cause of a stupid mistake I made while kayaking and sadly they replaced it with the new version of the rod which I don’t love as much. But it’s still a solid rod. As much as I’d love another TCS rod, I’m probably going to grab the Lunkerstik just because it’s on sale for $69 and I have a $50 visa gift card. So $19 for that rod seems pretty good. 

I guess since the Black Friday sale just started in TW, my question would be Dobyns Colt 705CB or Fenwick Lunkerstik 7’3 MH/M? For same price

My Dobyns rods are Furys and Champions.  My Fenwicks are a discontinued model, an HMG and an Elite Tech.  Sorry, I can't speak to the specific rods you are looking at.  Dobyns and Fenwick are excellent brands though.  I realize we all want to save money but it didn't take me long to learn that there is usually a huge difference in rods with just a small change in price point.
