I'm looking to buy a good 7'6" to 7'10" crankbait rod for throwing DT6 and DD22 type baits. Price range would be less than $120. Any suggestions?

Bps cranking stick, skeet Reese magnum cranker, winch crank, or h20 micro cranker. I picked up the h20 rod about a month ago was the cheapest cranking rod I have had and it is my favorite by far. I usually throw dd22, 6xd, and mag warts and it will chunk them a mile and is very comfortable to fish with all day. Could buy one of those and more crankbaits

Abu Garcia Veritas Winch cranking rod would be my suggestion, I love mine. With an orra winch, it is a cheap and awesome rig for all day cranking with zero fatigue. Cast a million miles, smooth, sensitive, and tons of power for when you get better fish on and need to control them in timber and around other cover.
7' 6" and witht he new Veritas 2.0 line out they are on fire sale most places if you can find them. If not, get the 2.0 equivalent and enjoy.

I use a KVD Cranking stick and love it. Casts a mile and has great sensitivity.
Take Dead Aim
I'd rather be lost on the water than found at work!

Spend the extra money on a cranking rod. That is one rod where I can really tell the difference in performance and bite detection.
I have the Falcon 7'4" T7 Composite Cranker.
But my favorite is the Duckett Micro Magic , I think its 7'3" cranking rod.
I started with an H2O rod and thought it was good until I picked up one of the better cranking rods. It makes a big difference.
