I am looking to get a new deep cranking rod that needs to be under $100 and be able to launch .5 oz to 1 oz baits a good distance. Any input would be appreciated.

If it absolutely has to be under $100 I'd buy the Skeet Reese W&M 7'10 Magnum Crankbait rod. I suppose you could also try the Bass Pro Crankin Stick. I wasn't pleased with mine to be honest so I traded it away.

If you'll spend just a bit more you can pick up the rod I just bought. It's the the XP3 Series from Castaway, DD22 Special , 7'10.

It's awesome! It's got everything you want in a deep cranking rod and it launches a crankbait a mile. It's $139 and worth it, I promise. Look it up. I'd tell you which website but this thing keeps kicking out the name so I can't mention it. I've ordered from "them" a few times and they're great folks. Free Shipping on orders over $50.

Get a BPS Crankin Stick when on sale and spend the rest on deep cranks. I love mine. used my friends skeet and couldnt really tell a difference. I use a 7'6" MH and it works great for dd22 and 6xd's

Rapsody Rods has a new crankbait line that are good rods.

Skeet Reese rod with the BPS cranking stick a distant second.
