Any suggestions for a crankbait rod? Looking to keep it under $400. Deepest diving baits will be 15’. Something that’s versatile would be a bonus as far as throwing reaction baits. No fiberglass, never been a fan.

I like the Dobyns crankbait rods, Fury, Kaden, Champ XP whatever length/power works for the baits you want to throw.

705CB is probably the most "do everything" if I had to pick one, but they have a ton of options.

St. Croix Legend Tournament 7'2" MH Mod. This will throw most baits. It struggles with 3/8oz lures but it can definitely bring in the fish.

IMX Pro 903 or 906 ...

Kaden 735CB

Edge Delta MBR 714-1 CB

Too bad glass is out. The Alpha Angler

Rebound is one sweet rod. It’s not your Dad’s glass rod.

I recently bought a KVD elite crankbait rod and it’s pretty decent.
