think about getting a new crank rod any suggestions was looking at shimano rods has anyone have any good things to say about them or the carrot stick

the cumara cranking rods are nice

Check out the P. H. Kellner Cranking Rod that was built for and donated to the KATS tournament on Lake Bastrop last month.

If you are budget minded, I have one of the new AllStar Nano Big Crankbait Ross and like it so far. Academy has them for I think $89.00.

My father and brother both use Shimano Cumara 7'11" mh cranking rods. They handle deep divers and large bass very well. They have the older style black rods and not the new red rods.

fishingbud,

What are you looking for, an all around CB rod or something for square-bills or deep divers? Talking a HUGE difference from one end to the other. What kind of CBs you planning on using it with? Traps, square-bills, medium depth, deep divers? All (all around rod) or something more specific? What is your budget? LOTS of rods that can help you, but we need to know more about what you are wanting to throw on it, than just a CB. More than glad to help, but befoer we get specific, we need to know more general information from you. Hope this helps quantify what you might be looking for.

Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

Go to tackle warehouse and look at the red Powell max rods the 7'11" .this rod can throw it all 10x,6x,dd22,.a real good rod.

The Shimano Tc4 blanks are pretty dang awesome.

The Kistler 2013 Helium Crankbait is a better rod imo. About the same money as Cumara. Great customer service too.

ya 7/11 is a little to big looking for more of a 7 or 7\5 maybe a carrot stick i heard they hold up good tho

I just bought the H20 Ethos 7' M... i think a great rod for the $$

Never had any problems with my Carrot Stix

I hear that the carrot sticks break constantly, i've never owned one thats just the feed back i've gotten on them before.

I have had the PG crank model snap on a three pounder!!! I switched to powell and haven't had any problems since. They have some on sale at tackle warehouse,too!
