Hi Again,

Now that I know my 844 is not a crankbait rod, let me ask this.

In loomis spinning rods which would be a good crackbait rod?

I have a sjr782, and a smr882 would any of these?

Any suggestions would be apprec.

Thanks

Paul

ps i am not as stupid as these questions sound, just really confused.

well forget loomis ... 1st ,, 2nd look at croix  they have the answer  

I don't own any loomis rods and never see my self owning one. I have no issuses agianst them but its hard to find loomis rods around here. But I would think any spinning rod with a slow tip will work. I own many st. croixs and there awsome rods. I own there perimer crank rod and love it. The only problem i have with it is that it seems a little to soft for casting. I seems like when ever I put on a bigger bait like a 1/2-5/8oz bait the rod is going to break on the cast.

I just can't imagine using a spinning rod for crankbait fishing.

ill second that cart!!!!!!  although Bill Dance is pretty good with it  ;D

You have to take into consideration where he fishes also.

Don't kid yourself   The SJR 782 will work for Cranks and be fairly good rod for them.  The SJR 782 can be used for fishing minnow baits like the Long-A and Repala.      The 782 is a very versatile spinning rod

As said, the 782 will work fine for crankbaits, although a casting setup would be better.

Try having a spinning rod made on a St. Croix premier crankbait rod blank? All my crankbait rods are Premiers and they work great.

I also can't see cranking with spinning gear as my ideal set  nor Gloomis ( They don't have anyone in their crankbait series ).

I have the SJR 782 IMX and is a great rod, I don't see why not to be use for shallow/light cranks, it is not fit for med/deep cranking so. I think 6.6 is a good size for the purpose.

There is not such a thing as " stupid question ". specially in fishing.

I prefer using casting gear for most crankbait fishing, however I also have an SJR782 that I use for tossing Minnow baits and Shad Raps. It's just a joy to use with these baits.
