I like the FXtreme rods for mid-deep diving crank baits. I also like their swim bait rods.

Second the Dobyns 705cb. The 704cb is also very good, especially for the smaller 1.5's. I have the Champion Series and although it feels a little "whippy" (I had my doubts when I first fished with it) it loads up perfectly and I have yet to lose a fish. Haven't caught anything over 6lbs yet but lots of scrappy 2-3lbr's and none of them have come unbuttoned. I tried at least 5 other brands specifically for squarebills and this is, so far, the best of the bunch. Duckett Ghost would be 2nd and St Croix Glass would be 3rd choice in comparison to the Dobyns. If I didn't already have 4 Powell crank bait rods I would get the Dobyns 705. I really like Dobyns rods. Well I went to the warehouse in Sulfur Springs this past Friday and picked up on a 705 CB glass rod, not that I really needed another crank bait rod but I wanted to try it out because so many people really like it. I didn't "know" I needed another rod either but I picked up a DC 705CB FR* Boom Boom model the other day.
