I just had my new Shimano Calcutta 200D arrive in the mail & I'm trying to decide which rod to go with. Any suggestions?

If you're going to use it for throwing cranks, think about a Dobyns 705 CB or 765 CB.

I would throw it on the crucial honestly. However, they are basically the same price and it depends on what you prefer. Cork or EVA foam etc.
Yield not to misfortunes but advance ever more boldly against them

Crucial has a lifetime over the counter warranty. Can't beat it. Break it....take it back to the store and they will give you a new one. I've done it several times and no questions were asked.

I went with the Crucial. I picked one up at Southwest Parts & Service, there price turned out to be $20 Cheaper than Basspro.
