Crankin' Stick™ Casting Rods

Lighter, stronger blanks are fitted with our exclusive Grip-Tite™ reel seats to give you more precision, power and control! At Bass Pro Shops, we took one of the industry's great crankin' rods and made it better...by attacking it from two different directions. First, we gave our Crankin' Stick's unidirectional fiberglass/IM-6 graphite blank an upgrade, strengthening the fibers and thinning the walls to make it one of the lightest, most sensitive crankbait rods on the market. As before, you can expect true action with plenty of power and just the right amount of flex, because the "Fiberglass Feeling" tip is designed to absorb the shock of a surging fish - keeping you in control at all times. Second, we fitted our exclusive Power Hump™ ergonomic premium cork handle with a graphite tournament reel seat featuring the Grip-Tite™ nonslip adhesive coating, to give you a rock-solid grip on the cast, the retrieve and every minute of the fight. And every model has premium aluminum oxide Fuji® Concept guides and a Pro-Guard epoxy finish for years of crankin' fun! A soft tip, a powerful butt, and a firm grip to help you crank 'em up! One-piece rods. 9 guides (including rod tip).

My good friend Stacey King turned me onto these great rods and here is what he has to say about their design.
"These rods are lighter, stronger and more sensitive than any other crankin' rods I've tried, and the tips have just the right amount of forgiveness built in. During our field tests, the redesigned blanks and the new Grip-Tite reel seats made a real difference in our catch rate. It's amazing how much more control you get with these rods!"
-Stacey King 9-Time BASS Masters Classic® Qualifier.

These rods come in a medium light and medium action, are great for catching Largemouth, Smallmouth, Spotted Bass, and Walleye. Head over to Bass Pro Shops and pick one up today.
