[QUOTE="LonLB, post: 234838, member: 4391"] My thoughts on rods in general. Contact baits-jigs, worms, drop shot, shakey heads etc, all techniques that a good rod is important. Moving baits, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, swimbaits, etc, IMO it just doesn't make any sense to me, to spend a bunch of money on rods for this stuff. More specific to your question....I like crankbait rods a little stiffer than what is available, and what most consider "crankbait" rods. The traditional crankbait rod is to soft, IMO, to rip lures out of weeds very effectively. Plus I usually don't do a strait retrieve with my crankbaits so any action you impart yourself to the bait, is absorbed into the rod when using an overly soft rod. Spinning rods tend to run a little "softer" or less power. So if I were cranking with a spinning rod, I would do so with a MH, rod that was at least a fast action. [/QUOTE]
