Crank bait rod

I need a good rod to throw middle to deeper diving cranks on. I've used a kistler and really liked it. However if I can find a well recommended rod for $75 - $150 that is what I would rather spend. Thanks for any recommendations.

BPS Cranking Stick

I have a Bucoo XD Cranker its 7'9" and I really like it.

St Croix Avids

Just got one of these and it's a pretty nice rod. Been using it for 6xd and 8xd, works well. Great price.

Bucoo XD or the bucoo deep runner

MS1 7.5H deep cranking rod....intro price is 150.00 and you will absolutely love the rod. The majority of the rods in this price point are not comparable as these rods are overbuilt with high end parts and a MajorCraft exclusive Japanese blank. Let me know thanks!

Powell Inferno 705CB pretty nice rod thats in your price range, nice casting rod but wouldnt do 1oz and up cranks very well.

The IROD Genesis II Cast Rod 7'11" Fred's Crank Launcher is a great rod for deeper divers

Nothin wrong with a crankin stick

Many people like the BPS Crankin' Stik, but I am not one of them. I fished it during our CB trial, but that was 20 years ago. The rod has gotten better, I am told, but I haven' tried it again. I like my Dobyns, but it is out of your price range, but they DO have a very good Fury CB rod for $110, though, that fits the bill VERY well. Here is a link, if you want to look at it.

Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

Thanks for the comments. I will check these suggestions out.

I can't find that rod on that site.

Dobyns Champion 805CB RM

One of the best bigger crankbait rods ever...but I sure didn't get mine for the OP's budget of "$75-$150"!

We’ve got the NanoAce 7.5 cranking rod available for $65.00!!! Fuji hardware with double footed guides that keeps the stress free m a fighting fish to a minimum on your guides.

Hmmm, it comes up for me, but I will post the link again.

I MUCH prefer the 805 CB RM rod, but that is out of your price range at $280. MUCH better rod for deep and medium diving CBs. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

You can go to Dobyns rods site and click on Fury and then scroll down to the 705 CB rod, if this one does not come up for you. Sorry.

Have a Rainshadow Revelation CB series built. You can thank me later

I don't know if they are any good or not but a bait store by me has the Skeet Reese S-glass rod;s for 39 bucks, I thought they were around 100 dollars, but like I said I've never tried one.

Got it this time. Thnx.

I've used the St. Croix Mojo Bass Glass Cranking Rod 7'4" Medium for some time now. $140 at Tackle Warehouse. Everything from Sqaure bills and chatter baits to 6 XD's and DD 22's. For 8 and 10 XD's I use the 7'6" BPS Cranking Stick.
