Setyr Tactical Crankin' Rod 7'9" Medium Action with a Curado 200B5:1. The best deep cranking rod I have ever used. Have never lost a fish on it. Bends perfectly and you can wing a DD22 a mile with it. JMO.

I like the Crucial 7'11" and the Loomis CBR847 for the DD22's. The 7'11" will get some more distance on the cast so you can keep the bait down a little longer.

I've never fished that specific Crucial rod, but I'm sure it's a great choice. I really like the Crucials that I have fished and that rod is probably no exception.

Did I not mention GLoomis too? I have used other cranking rods and I like the Loomis and Crucial actions for what I do and my water. It all comes down to what fits your needs. I was not trying to sell him anything so relax. I simply stated my opinion.

And why wouldn't I recommend a Shimano product since I do work for them? I post on this site for myself and not for my job. Of course I will recommend our products because I believe in them.

He also asked about the Crucial rod if you can learn to properly read all of the posts before trying to point me out. I'm not trying to start a battle here or anything like that. Maybe you could have offered him some advice as to what rod you like. So lets keep things proffessional on this site and offer input to the question question that he asked.

I LOVE my Shimano reels,and would not trade my 8 Castaics,my 3 Curados ,and my 3 Cardiffs fer nuttin! BUT, Magmaster, I'm with Brian/"805", Ummmm who owns G. Loomis? Ummmmmm, why, it's..... TADAAAAA! SHIMANO!!!! (I've also heard from SEVERAL people that have owned G. Loomis rods for many years, that the quality of workmanship has markedly declined... and at that price they should be Flawless!! Try the B&R Rods, they are REALLY nice! and GREAT PRICES! -Just Google 'em .... Good Luck

Champ- Sorry you had to see all this being a new member. But welcome to Calfishing. This is not typical of this site so I must apologize for hijacking this thread a little. It seems that certain people can't leave this alone and make a recomendation for the rod you requested.

To the guys that are trying to bust my a** on this go ahead and send me a PM and I will certainly clear any misconceptions you have of me. It doesn't need to happen on this guys post for the world to see.

Hi Champ
Welcome to the calfishing forums. I have used the Shimano, Lamiglas and tested the Loomis crank'n sticks and of the 3 Lamiglas probally felt the best. However Okuma recently released there EVX series crankbait rod and this is a true crankbait rod. Everything about this rod feels right. I have been using the Okuma EVX-CB-701M for about a year now, its unreal for the big DD22 type crankbait and works really well for the smaller wiggle wart or fat free shad type baits. Here is a link with the specs

You should check one out before making your purchase.

Lake,

Who in the Sacramento area carries these rods? I am looking for a crankbait rod that will not break the bank. I love the Okuma swimbait rods that I own and would like to look at these rods as well.

John,

Since you have field tested both the Lamiglas & Okuma cranking sticks, how do compare the Okuma EVX-CB-701M with one of the skeet reese cranking rods of the same size/make? Now I know you are sponsored by Okuma, but I just wanted your thought....I am already sold on the Okuma, due to the cost. I am also looking for a deep cranking stick.

Thanks,
Bryan

To fish is to live!

Hi Bryan
I have not used the Skeet Reese cranking stick. the ones I used were released before this model came out. I would be more then happy to let you try mine out at the Open. Just let me know so I bring it.

John
