Hello,

Well I posted a question earlier but I think I have changed my mind and want to go a different direction. What are your opinions of this combo for throwing medium cranks and spinnerbaits. Revo Winch (5.4 - 1) paired with a 7ft Crucial Medium action Crankbait rod?

Thanks in advance

I'd say opt for a MH if they have it in the crankbait line.

For medium cranks....going to be close call. The winch is the best deep cranker I've ever used. I use mine on a 7'6" ft BPS cranking stick for <70 bucks, and its all the rod I can ask for. They stay pinned. Don't know about the crucial cranking rod. I usually use a faster reel on my shallow and medium depths, just because you can wear yourself out in this heat with a winch, and its lower gearing.

I bought my first Winch to throw Norman Deep Little N's and similar baits. I used it for big bladed spinnerbaits and loved it so I bought a second. Great reels.

I use my Winch / Avid MHM for medium \ deep cranking and its awesome. For smaller cranks I typically use a 6.x.

The Winch is a great reel especially for deep cranks heavy large bladed spinners. Smaller baits that you might want to burn are probably better handled with a 6.x:1
