so one of my favorite time of the year is coming up, fall, and i have a lot of good luck with crank baits. ive got the baits and reel for crankin, just no the rod. for th longest time i have been using a very crappy zebco rod for my crankin, plenty of give, but is just WAY to limber and i dont know how much money ive wasted on superglue to just keep the thing together, ;D ive been lookin at the browning silaflex fiberglass rod. ive heard fiberglass is the go to material for crankbait rods, and i seen this, i think its a steal. any personal input on this rod, or any other suggestions on other good, fairly cheap crankbait rods i could look into? sorry for being so winded, just tryin to cover as much ground as i can.

thanks,

BPS Crankin' Stick.

Ditto on the BPS Crankin' Stick, especially if you can catch 'em on sale.

shimano crucial crankbait rod

thanks all, ill look into those bps crankin rod. im guessin its like a hybrid or somthing? graphite and glass mix? do they have a good amount of give? im lookin for somthing rather flimsy, but with some backbone. as far as the shimano rod, it just sounds like its expensive. lookin for some input here! lol!

BPS crankin stick. When they go on sale they are only like $30.

They have a lot of give and flex.

140.00 for the shimano rod. It is an excellant rod but it's a bit out of your price range.

The Lamiglas SR705R is THE BOMB and it's on sale at Cabela's:

Choice #1 Browining Silaflex

         There is no number 2 :

and you call that lamiglas on sale? lol. no thank you. i hthink im leanin towards the silaflex, cant find any crankin rods on sale. (even though there still cheap)

An Ugly Stick would make a decent crank rod on a budget.

I do a lot of cranking and I've used the Browning Silaflex rods for a long time and still do to this day. They aren't the lightest rods you'll ever pick up but not many glass rods are very light and for $35 bucks, you can't beat that.

True Story!!!

This is a great rod, but if you are looking to spend more on a nicer rod, this ( http://www.kistlerrods.com/p/KR/c-mt-crankbait-fishing-rods/MgCBCGGM70.html )  is the way to go!!

Best of luck and good crankin'
