Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jim" data-source="post: 46" data-attributes="member: 2">If your looking to get strictly a crankbait rod then I would get there crank bait series.  The action is moderate which will allow more of a bend in the middle of the rod instead of fast (more towards the tip).  So try to picture a 50 foot cast and down 10 feet as the crank is coming in.  As soon as you feel the bite you will set the hook.....a natural reaction.  With a fast tip rod there is a better chance that when you set the hook you will pull the lure out of the fishes mouth.  Less chance with a moderate action (Can still happen though if your one of those set the hook like they do on tv types LOL).  Decide what your going to use this particular rod for most of the time, and go with it.   It will also give you an excuse to buy another rod and reel combo. :wink: Let us know what you choose. :wink:</blockquote>
