What rod are y'all using for 10xd crankbaits? I'm looking at a Quantum KVD cranking 7' 11" Heavy. Not great reviews for it but it's on sale for $99. I know Dobyns make a good one but I don't want to spend that much. What's a good rod in the $150 and under range?

St Croix Mojo 7'8" MHM. $125ish at bps and worth every penny...
I have mine paired with Abu Garcia 5.4:1 Winch. Makes cranking those deep baits a breeze!

Spend it, Dobyns 806 If you want a rod with a little more versatility go with the Dobyns 805 RM. The 805 is good from 6xd and DD22's to 10xd.

While I agree the Dobyns rods are nice the 805 RM is not the ticket to sling 10XD's. The rod is up to 1 1/2 ounces and the 10XD weighs almost 2 oz. I have the exact model and tried throwing the 10XD, was like trying to cast a brick, rod was over loaded and couldn't get any distance on the casts.

I have a Duckett micro pro crankin' 7'11" paired with an Abu Winch and it will sling a 10xd. No fighting the bait back either. I fish this all day.

I haven't had any problems casting the 10XD on the Dobyns 805 and I can launch it a long way using 15 pound test Invizx with a Lews BB1 reel.

I know Okuma doesn't get mentioned much, but seriously, look into the Okuma Scott Martin series TCS "Power Crank" rod. I have one and just ordered two more, no joke. You will love it for DEEP diving cranks.

Some people like glass rods for cranking and some like graphite. I personally like the graphite ones that are made for cranking. I have better feel with a graphite rod, but it is all personal preference.

I use a phenix 7'4" glass Rod. 8-17 lb. 1/4 to 2oz. This will fling a 10xd or a dd22
Let Me know if you want one!
