I recently bought a g loomis glx crankbait rod for an unbelieveably good price and am now in the process of finding a good reel to pair it with. Any suggestions?

Team Daiwa Zillion High Power. You can spend more, but you can't get better.

looks sick. my friend has one and says he loves it. i guess ill look into it

Also take a look at Shimano's Curado E5, I love mine.

Daiwa Zillion Crazy Cranker or Revo Winch would be my picks for on the rod.

From personal experience, I would suggest a Quantum Energy in the Power ratio, a Curado E5, or a Daiwa Sol.  I just started fishing cranks with the Sol, even though it seems its marketed as a finesse reel, it gets the job done wonderfully

Shimano of course...Specifically CTE200GT.

Shimano Chronarch 100BPV  

I got this reel for Christmas and it is AWESOME. TW has them on sale, too!  It is had to beat a $270 reel for $187.

Agree, best cranking reel in the market

I second the Shimano Calcutta 200TE GT.

That Zillion is super-sweet at 4.9:1. What is your budget?

Zillion at $270 (all can be found cheaper), Calcutta 200GT at $350.

Just picked up a C3 (5.3:1) for $70 new that I will use for cranking.

Look around, check them all out, check out the wallet & GO! ;D

$150+revo wench. $100 or cheaper bps david fritts series.

I second the Chronarch BPV.  I've had that reel for a few years and love it.  Casts well and the bigger deep divers won't beat ya up so bad with the slower speed.  

Only drawback I hear about the Chronach's from people is their smaller spool/less line capacity.  It hasn't gotten in the way as far as my fishing goes.

Revo Winch gets my vote

id have to say the winch is the way to go!

My 2 recommendations would have to be:

Shimano Curado 200E5

Abu Garcia Revo Winch

I have the G Loomis GLX CBR855 and I paired it with a Daiwa Sol.  It is one Bad @ss set-up.  I think you will be very pleased with the rod.

I love my Pflueger  Trion cranking reel.  5.2.1 gear ratio at $100 new.  Can't beat it.  Great reel at a great price
