I use the Dobyns 805 CB RM Champion rod with a 200B5 Curado reel on it. I use 12-15# McCoys Mean Green to crankwith and all my moving baits. Hope this helps.

Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

I have a Revo winch on an AllStar big crankin rod. I broke my Falcon cranker and needed a quick replacement until I could get another. Never bought another and still using the AllStar. AllStar is not what it was but still pretty good at least the one I bought. That was 3 years ago.

I use a Dobyns 805 CBRM with an older Lew's reel with 4.3:1 (I think, it's less than 5:1) gear ratio.

I use a Veritas 2.0 Winch 7'11" paired with a Lews Speed Spool 5.4:1 modified with Tournament Pro gears to lighten the weight.
This weekend I was throwing a Manns 30+ with it and never got tired. Easy cast and easy retrieve.

I use Power Tackles XLC-3-7'11 works great from the 6XD to the 10XD. Try checking out Keith Combs series as well they have a 7'10 model as well.
