AllStar has a new rod out 7'10" "BigCrankbait". I got one and it chunks 10xd's and 6xd like a missle. For $89.00 you'll be hard pressed to find more value for the dollar. Academy is where I got mine.
It's not what a man knows that bothers me. It's what a man "KNOWS" that ain't necessairly so that has me conserned.

I am going to buy one just to find out for myself. Half y'all lie like hell and the other half are full of chit.  , A great locally owned business www.bcfw.org Bass Club of Fort Worth

If your going cheap ..for the bigger Cranks such as a DD22,6XD or 10XD H20 Makes a 7'10" rod which is good. I would get this before i got a 7' for big cranks. My favorite is the St. Croix Mojo Glass Crankbait Cast Rod 7'8" Med Hvy for big cranks. A good reel for Deep diving cranks is the diawa exceller 4:9

I looking for a decent deep diving chankbait rod. The one that I am considering is academy's H2O express Ethos 7' M Freshwater Composite Crankbait Casting Rod. My concern is it will not be able to handle the bigger cranksbaits I will be casting. Has anyone of you all ever used this rod before, if so how do you like it. Are there any other rods out there for the same price that are just as good? Keep in mind that I am a recent grad and I don't want to spent a lot of money.
7' 0" Composite cranker is good for most cranks. For the big deep divers, I use the 7'10" Magnum Cranker.

If your looking at Ethos, I throw deep divers on their 7'6" Heavy rod or XH rod with a fast tip. It works very well, including the 10XD. Mine has lasted 3 years, so far, and hopefully will last another 3 years or longer. Some of the rods mentioned above are composite, others graphite. I prefer a graphite rod over a composite, because you shuolders feel it less and you feel the bait more quickly. The BPS is a composite, the Ethos crankers are composite, the 7'5 Ethos is graphite. Just thought you should know.
Hope this helps.
Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

Dobyns 805 is very hard to beat for 6xd or 10 xd's. Guy wants a cheap rod and somebody reccomends a dobyns 805. Almost funny.
