Re: Crankbait Rod for 5/16 to 1/2 cranks

I went with the 704CB glass. The 764CB Gary recommended looks like it’d be perfect but I bought this using a work anniversary point gift and the website I used the points on didn’t have the 764CB available.

Crankbait Rod for 5/16 to 1/2 cranks

Guys, I’m looking to buy a crankbait rod for tossing 5/16 to 1/2 oz crankbaits. Most will be divers and lipless baits in open water. I’ve got a Diawa SV TW that I just bought and I’m now looking for a rod to pair it with. My budget for this rod is $250 and I’m currently looking at a Dobyns Champion ...

Re: Which Three Casting Rods?

Thanks all! I’m going to buy a crank bait rod next and then probably a heavy setup with braid after that. I’ve got about 5 spinning rods so I should be covered there.

Which Three Casting Rods?

I started a thread a week or so ago regarding a good all around rod/reel option and ended up buying a 7’ Dobyns medium heavy fast action rod paired with a Diawa Tatula Type R 6.3:1 spooled with 15# fluorocarbon. If I were to buy two more rigs so I’ll be prepared for most conditions and techniques wh...

Re: Casting Rod & Reel Recommendation

Since we’re on the topic of more rods obviously being better, I live in Reno, plan to retire soon and when that happens I’d really like to start learning CA waters such as the Delta, Bullards Bar and Clear Lake. I’d like to build up to three rods and it seems that would cover most applications when ...

Re: Casting Rod & Reel Recommendation

Guys, Thanks for the input. I ended up ordering a Dobyns Sierra 733C and paired it with a Daiwa Tatula Type R 6.3:1. I’m going to spool it with 15# Seaguar InvizX Fluorocarbon. Ordered the rod Saturday night and got it today (Amazon) and should get the reel Wednesday. The rod feels reel/real nice! C...

Casting Rod & Reel Recommendation

Long time spin and fly fisherman looking to buy first casting rig. My primary use is going to be for Wipers that could exceed 10# but I may use occasionally fish for largemouths and stripers. Majority of my fishing with this rod/reel combination will be for Wipers with 3/8 - 3/4 oz jigs, crank baits...
