Spinnerbait / crankbait rod

[sbtaylor]

could the 7' cranking composite also be used for spinnerbaits - mostly
slow rolling 3/8 to 1/2 spinnerbaits? I have a magnum senko which I use for spinnerbaits (that's a great all-around rod by the way). Or is there another rod that can do cranks and spinnerbaits better?

Sometimes those bigger spinner baits cause the composite tip to overload and you can lose casting accuracy and distance because of the overall weight of the bait.

The KCBS7 is a much better rod for both the cranks and the spinner baits. It has a little more rigid tip which will load up nicely with heavier baits.

I hope this helps a bit. If not, I will clarify with more.

Hi,

This got me thinking. Would the rod (7' cranking composite) be in trouble casting 3/4 oz. RattlinÌ Rapalas.

Thanks,
Lucian.
