For years, many manufacturers have pushed fiberglass rods for fishing
crankbaits, claiming graphite rods are too stiff and react too fast.
That’s partly true because fiberglass is softer and much slower
reacting, , but we have gone to great lengths to design the soft, slow
flex into these rods while still maintaining the sensitivity and
lightweight advantage of graphite. Material is only one part of the
formula, design is another, and in the case of our crankbait rods, may
be the most important. These are specialty casting rods, designed
exclusively for crankbaits. We took all of the necessary elements
required to make a rod that will fish a crankbait correctly… a soft,
more moderate action that’s soft enough to let the lures to work
properly and allow the fish to inhale the bait, yet is very light,
responsive and sensitive. You gain all of the advantages of graphite
with a nice soft action rod that’s a lot lighter than fiberglass and far
less tiring to cast over the course of a long day.
