bcbass11 Outdoorsman Registered: 01/17/12 Posts: 20	Headed there in a few days and undecided what rod to use for the deep divers. I plan on throwing it with 20lb invizX just out of confidence.

cantcatch5 Extreme Angler Registered: 06/15/06 Posts: 1364 Loc: Tyler, "Tx	I throw that size DD cranks on a Dobyns 805CBRM and it does great. I have never thrown that heavy of line with it though but from what I have heard/read you are on the right track with it down there. Jason

bcbass11 Outdoorsman Registered: 01/17/12 Posts: 20	I was hoping to get by with my 7'2 MH cumara but it looks like everyone is geared towards the 7'6 plus. Appreciate the advice even though it looks like I might dropping some more cash!

10 lbs or bust Pro Angler Registered: 06/15/11 Posts: 685 Loc: ON the bush IN Falcon	get yourself a 7 footer or longer with a moderate action.....I wouldnt go too heavy. You will just rip hooks out. All of the above rods are good and here are a few more for consideration. BuCoo Cast Rod 7'6" Medium BCC-4-176. Buzzbaits, crankbaits and spinnerbaits all fish well with this rod. Duckett Micro Split Grip Cranking Rod 7'11" Med Micro Magic Cast E DFMM711M-CC-B. Suggested Use: 16ft+ deep running crankbaits. PT Paragon Crank Cast Rod 7'3" Fiberglass PGC173-73 _________________________ Martin (Jay) Greishaw 757-537-5968 Follow me on twitter @highstakesbass email me at jay@highstakesbassin.com Full time local Zapata Falcon Lake bass guide
