Looking For A 7'6" Crankin Rod

Featured Replies

During the off season I got a Dobyns Champion 765CB Glass, paired it with a Curado 200E5. Absolutely love this combo.

SR 765 Lamiglas. This blank has just the right blend of back bone, action and sensitivity to hook and land fish on deep cranks and cover. Mine is custom built with an Ambassadeur 4600c3.

You didn't mention your price range, but at the lower end, a lot of us like the BPS Crankin' Sticks - there are 7'6" rods in M and MH...I have them both... ;)

google G-blanks. I had one built earlier this year and it's a phenomenal cranking stick. 7'6" m/h moderate fast split grip, split reel seat, and micro guides for $140. it 's incredibly sensitive and can hurl big cranks a mile.

I bought 2 Pinnacle Perfecta MH cranking rods last season, and still have one of them. It's difficult to lose a fish on these rods. These are 7'8" long, and suitable for .75 to 1.25 oz deep-divers, irrespective of whatever the lure rating says. Retailed for $170 when I got them.

I am looking for something that I can throw everything from square bills to wigglewarts to lipless cranks. Anybody fish the dobyns 765?

I use a Shimano Crucial 7'6" MH Rod for some cranking and I like it very well. Do not know if you will like but it might pay to check one out.

All the rods listed thus far are excellent choices, the 765 being a very good choice. My favorite in a "Big bait" rod is the Loomis CBR896DF. I love the way the rod reacts to everything a bait is doing. It's a light enough rod that it is more than comfortable to fish all day throwing big baits without being sore. It's sensitive enough to feel a fish swim over a bait, which used to be something I had trouble with from time to time. I couldn't feel it.

I use to use an ALL Star rod for cranking. I would lose about 2 or 3 fish out of 10. I purchased a KVD Tour Cranking Rod. NOw I will only lose 1 out of 25 or 30. Great cranking rod.
