I am looking to get a rod for the big crankbait like the strick king 10xd or the giant square bill crank baits I would like to not spend over $100

Not many that I am aware of for thqat purpose in your price range. I would consider the Dobyns Fury Flipping stick as a PRIME possibility. It is rated from 1/4 to 2 oz lures, MH with a fast tip. Here is a link to it.

I would consider flipping sticks to be in the category for this kind of rod.

Another possibility is the old Academy Ethos rods. I use a 7'6" XH for this application and it works well. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

go buy a UglyStik, ya can't break it and it has a great bend for crank baits...

^agreed. You still want the parabolic bend that a crankbait rod needs to have.

Yep, 7' Ugly Stik Elite in medium heavy--your arms will get tired casting and retrieving with that rod all day, but if you do a lot of trolling/strolling, it'll work fine

For just at $100; take a look at the Falcon Bucoo XD Cranker.

Go on abugarcia.com, they have the Veracity 7'11" heavy and extra heavy winch(their version of a crankbait rod) on sale for 104.00.

Thanks I have a flipping stick I can use it just was not sure if it was to stiff for cranking

Try the Berkley Lightning Rod Shock 7'6" Heavy. It has the action you need for the big baits & it's $55.00.

I have the 7'10" Mag Heavy and use it for 10XD, works great, I got mine for a song, since a buddy worked there, good rods for the purpose/money.
