Spend another $100 and buy the Dobyns Champion 805CB Randy McAbee crankbait rod.You will absolutely fall in LOVE with it.You will Thank Me later!

YYYYUP! Don�t hesitate.

I like my Falcon XD Cranker and its around your price point

Slayer, you have a PM.

Have to agree with the other Dobyns guys

Fishes 6XD�s with ease, 8XD�s perfect, and 10XD�s great

Defintely for those true deep cranks

I lie the Dobyns rod mentioned above. Best all around rod, except for throwing 10 XDs I have found. It handldes most of the baits with charm and is a breeze to throw. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

I throw 10XD's most of the summer, haven't used the above mentioned but bought a Cashion Rod built for 10XDs, and really like it. But can't give a comparison since I haven't used the others.

MajorCraft Nanoace 7.5MH cranking 119.99 or wait for the MS-1 7.5H cranking Stick. Both rods are great for cranking mid to deep divers.

For 6XDs and 8XDs, the Falcon XD cranker--at your price point

The 10XD is a different animal than the 6XD and even the 8XD. I think of the 10XD as a deep diving hard swimbait with bottom treble hooks.

I don't have one; but if I were throwing 10XDs, I'd throw it on the Low Down Custom 7'9" MH (rated for 1-5oz baits) has a strong backbone with a moderate fast parabolic action. It's more expensive than your price point, and currently sold out.

Go with the Ark Rods "Crankbait" Series. They are priced right at $149.99 and are amazing! They have 3 models to choose from...7'0, 7'4, and 7'10. They are glass rods and handle any crankbait that you want to throw.

Mc Cain Tommy Martin series the big crankbait rod is the best I have ever used

My two deep cranking rods right now are a Kistler Mark Rose and a Halo Cranking II Rod. I have used Castaway, Dobyns, and Falcon as well. For your price point I would highly recommend the Halo for $139.
