I searched and searched for a rod that could handle the 10XD properly and not wear me out.

My partners and I won a a lot of money in 2013 and a big portion of it was won on the 10XD. When the bigguns can be caught cranking I'm throwing the 10XD all day long.

Now that I'm using the magnum crank bait rod by Hook Spit I am much less tired and less sore at the end of the day.

I designed the handle longer because with my nerve damage in my arms and hands it allows me to place the rod under my armpit and use my body to handle the bait rather than just my arms and wrists. It makes a HUGE difference.

The full 8' length allows for unbelievably long casts. I'm a Lew's fan and I had to go from a BB1 to a BB2 because I was almost throwing all the line off the BB1.

When you hook a really big fish the rod has just enough action to allow you to play her without her throwing the treble hooks, yet it is just stiff enough to handle the bait. You will struggle throwing the 10XD on a rod with too much action. You'll lose distance on your casts plus those huge cranks like the 10XD just create too much drag for a rod like some other cranking rods that were designed for light to medium crank baits.

Hook Spit is offering a 20% still if you get my code.

The rod retails for $179 but is $143.20 with my code.

I will be at the McDonalds (Sealy Outdoors) tourney on Toledo Bend Saturday night and fishing on Sunday only. If you wanna see one of the rods or buy one I will have a few brand new ones with me.

I have been throwing an Alabama rig on this same rod too. I didn't believe it would be heavy enough for an A-rig but it actually does much better than using an extra-heavy flipping stick.

Holler if you have any questions.
