How much would you like to spend on this new rod ? How big of baits will you be throwing? I have a Kistler kcbs7 which cost me $139 which is a good medium weight rod. I just got two new Rogues for lightweight use. I don't know if they make a crankbait rod though. If they do it will likely cost around $140 - $180. They make their own blanks and manufacture the rods here in the US. Look them up and give them a try, you wont be sorry.
