I use this rod, I've tried several other brands and found this one doesn't leave me feeling like I need shoulder surgery.

I'd buy a BPS Crankin' Stick. MH. In whatever length felt good to me.

These are very good rods. Except for some old glass rods that I've had for many years, all my movement baits go on Crankin' Sticks. Spinner bait, crank bait, chatter bait, top water, buzz bait. Anything I wind.

If I could find some more of the old Wright/McGill Rick Clunn blue glass crank bait rods, I would buy them. I'm down to 3 now. I really like those old rods. They are heavy and dead, but feel just right in my hands. I can handle up to a 6XD on them.

I have a diawa Kage 7'6 deep cranker that will handle it , but I use it for 6xd and up.
I think the 5 xd fishes like a small crankbait and use a 7'0 diawa tatula crankbait rod I got from a door deal at the Fun n sun show a few years back. That rod is pretty impressive and can fire a small to medium crankbait with almost no effort. Its glass so accuracy is horrible though.

Reneau Tackle PGC73CP. It’s a composite rod with a graphite rod that blends to a glass tip.
