What’s a great deep crank combo, no budget?

 

i prefer Dobyns, Steez AGS, St Croix, and Megabass rods

I have a Dobyns champ XP 804, would this be good for deep cranks like 6XDs and 10XDs

Is your 804 a c or a cb?

804c

 

champ xp

The Champ 805cb or 806cb would be the 2 deep crank rods from the Champion line. If you throw 10XD's a lot the 806 would be the better choice. I have a 805cb with a Conquest 200 and it's awesome for 6xd size baits. I don't throw 10xd's much at all and I'm sure the 805 would handle them but the 806 was designed for the bigger baits.

 

The 804c you have is C-rig rod. I'm sure you could throw deep cranks on it but that isn't really what it was designed to do. 

Champion 805CB with a Tatula 200 in 6.2 with the 100 mm handle.  

How about the 736 glass chatterbait rod.  I have that one too but it’s a dedicated Chatterbait rod 

any other brands or models would be appreciated

That’s a Carolina rig rod. The “Carolina rigging special”. No I wouldn’t use It for deep cranks personally. 

Orochi launcher is sick 

i saw this mentioned somewhere long time ago.  Isn’t this 2 piece rod??

 

intru to stay away from them for bass.

Daiwa BLX JDM Limber 7’4” MH looks good with lots happy reviews.

Yep 

I bought a Dobyns FR 803SB for throwing 8XD and 10XD. It is the Boom Boom Roumbanis swimbait rod that is the same blank as the 806cb, and even says 10XD right on it as one of the suggestions. Dobyns was closing them out for $139 not too long ago so I picked one up.

 

I currently throw 5XD and 6XD on a Dobyns 735cb glass.

 

Both are currently set up with Gen 3 Revo Winch reels.

Nice what reel do you have with it?

Mr roboto missed something 

Got it, thanks.  

IRG754F gen3 Fred’s Magic is a decent big deep diving crank bait rod under $150. Suggest using 300 size reels 5.5:1 to 6.1:1 ratio.
