Extra Deep Cranking Rod 2024
ZJGardner926 reply :
I'm looking for a rod to throw extra deep crankbaits like the manns 30 or 10xd. They just seem to heavy for my BPS cranking stick. I've heard good things about a Dobyns 806 for deep cranks, but that is out of my price range.
I see St. Croix has a MOJO Heavy Action, medium fast. It says it is a flipping rod, but was this be any good for extra deep cranking? It is rates for up to 2 oz. I really want to stay less than $150 on this rod.
J Francho reply :
For DEEP cranking, I like a long rod, MH power, and moderate taper for making bomb casts, and keeping all of the rod loaded while fighting a hooked fish. Fats rods are what a minority prefer, but I like a slower blank. I use a Pinnacle DH5 7-11 cranking rod for this. A 5:1 reel and 12# fluoro round out the combo.
ZJGardner926 reply :
I have a MHM rod for medium to deeplay cranks. It just doesn't have the power to sling a big 10xd.
I would also be open to a used rod.
J Francho reply :
I don't think you'll like that H/F Mojo for big divers. The only thing close that I've used in the Saint Croix line up is the Legend Tournament Deep Cranker 7-11. SC's power ratings run a bit heavier than stated.

If you like Gary Dobyn's work, perhaps take a look at the Fury Line.
The 7'6" Med Hvy or the 7'9" Med Hvy Swimbait could be in your wheel house.

I'm just curious... why don't you think I would like this rod ( MJC711HMF )?

It's way more powerful than you think.

I see Denali makes a Heavy cranking rod in the Lithium series. Never used a Denali. Are they any good?
J Francho reply :
Never used used one. They didn't impress me in my hand.

Agreed.
But although I have, like & fish that stick, it does not possess the required heft to effectively fish the baits (10xd) the OP wants to use it for.

Even that rod is only rated for 1.5 ounce lures. The 10xd is nearly 2 ounces (1.92).

I have a Champion 806cb, it's pretty awesome.

You aren't interested in selling it are you ;-)?
J Francho reply :
That's a nice stick!
WRB reply :
Cashion DD90476 deep diving crankbait rod should work for you, excellent quality and very light weight. They also make a 7'11" heavy XD10 crank bait rod.

BPS came out with a new line of cranking rods last year, they offer a 7'10" mag heavy rated 1-4 ounces. I use this rod for the 10xd, and it handles them just fine and they are $99

I may check into that. That isn't a bad price. I have the 7'6" BPS Cranking stick in MH. It is a little heaavy, but works good for baits around the 3/4 oz size.

I see BPS rates all their cranking rods as a fast action. Is this an instance where fast action with BPS is similar to a moderate or medium fast in another brand?

Falcon low rider xd cranker. Made for the 10xd.

Yup since it's a composite the fast would be similar to a moderate in graphite.
Robert Riley reply :
I am not selling it. And thanks Mr. Francho!
I have heard great things about the Falcon Lowrider, they're second on my list.
CarolinaBoy4Life reply :
Got one of the newer style BPS crankin sticks with micro guide 7'6 for my deeper cranking and its a great rod. May get the 7'10 for 10xd but honestly don't really need that as I don't crank that deep very often if at all
Bass_Fanatic reply :
I throw a 10xd ALOT! I use a Dobyns 806cb, but for the money, the Irod Fred's Crank Launcher is hard to bear. It's rated for 1.5oz but will handle a 10xd just fine. Also, the Irod Bama Rig Special would work great. I have the Bama Rig Special and it's a very versitale stick. I've thrown Bama rigs, 10xds, and big flitter spoons on them and it was perfect. Won't find a better rod for $150
ZJGardner926 reply :
Being that the BPS Crankin' Stick Micro guide is on sale now for $89.99, I may go with this rod.

I use the pinnacle perfecta DHC5 7ft 8in MH moderate fast,and lews BB1 5-1 ratio works very well..excellent combo for me

What kind of reel would you recommend using with a rod like that for cranking?
I'm going on a walleye fishing trip in a month and we will mostly be trolling, pulling cranks and pretty deep in some parts.
gailt reply :
Something with a 5-1,or 5-4 ratio would do well,and some use a 6-1,or 6-4.I like the lews BBI personally, but shimano and daiwa in fact all the reel makers make a cranking (ie)low ratioreel for that purpose.Just fid one you like in your budget range.take care
South FLA reply :
Want to cast a country mile, have a moderate action for the trebles and be able to use up to 2 oz monster cranks, then look no further than the St Croix Legend Extreme LXC711HMF LOVE THAT ROD, thanks Dwight! I also have a crucial crankbait series which I like and would choose that as a bang for buck rod, I think they make a hvy action also for heavier baits.

Does the 7'6" mh have the same mod-fast taper as the 795 swimbait rod?

My conversation with him was 6xd and lighter use the 764, anything heavier use the 805 CB.
WRB reply :
This is a 3 year old thread. Don't think a lot has changed since then however.
The 10XD is a giant crankbait and a MH swimbait rod rated 1-5 oz works good, little over kill. I have used my IRG754F Magic Stick for big 1 1/2 oz deep divers, not ideal but works good.

GreenPig reply :
I throw my large & heavy crankbaits on my Daiwa DX 8' Swimbait rod Med- Heavy that's rated for 1-6 oz. It'll launch the heavy cranks and squarebills along way.
pauldconyers reply :
If you are wanting to throw a 10XD use what KVD uses himself:

TW has an INSANE sale on them right now for only $80!
Bassjam2000 reply :
I resurrected this thread only ask about the taper on the 765. I don’t throw deep cranks but would use this rod to throw smaller hard swimbaits in the .5 to 1.5oz range, If it has the same taper as the 795 this is likely the rod I’m looking for, if it’s more of a true fast action then it’s not. I’m not going to waste Gary’s time, I’m just putting together a budget and shopping list for next spring.
