Been gifted for a good deed. If you could choose any rod for med crank baits / spinnerbaits under $300, which one would you get , price and why ? Ready??? Go !
My brother gave me a St. Croix Mojo spinnerbait rod that has worked out nicely for me, especially since it didn't cost me anything. I almost bought another spinnerbait rod tonight at the Dicks in Muskegon-they had a Shimano Crucial Spinnerbait rod on clearance for $99. I have always put more money into my dropshot, worm/jig rods because of the feel I get from a higher priced rod, than I do for rods used for more reaction strikes. I have been very pleased with all of my Shimano & St. Croix rods & I know there are many other companies out there that build a great rod for under $300. If I had $300 to spend, I'd head back over to Dicks & buy the Shimano Crucial ($99) & pair it with the new Shimano Curado ($179), & buy a couple of spinnerbaits.

How heavy ? Can I sling for an hour ? Is it glass or graphite ?
Also - Would a 7'0" 704 CB glass do the trick if I don't want a 7'6" or I want to reduce weight ? Your thoughts ?
The best one I can afford, it has to be 60 mil of Graphite or more, 7ft and med-hevy action.

They have them in glass or graphite. If you're gonna go 7 foot rather than 7'6", I'd go with the 705CB Rather than 704. I have all of them and weight is certainty not an issue.
Mike,
If you plan to fish double duty the 705CB would be the best choice
Like Hoekset said
I have the 705 CB glass as well
It's allot stiffer thou, Make's one hell've of chatter bait rod thou
Any time you what to borrow a rod. Just give me a call
I don't have them all, But I do have 1/2 of the line up
When the Tackle depoit runs a sale for 20-25% off that's when to buy. They carry Dobyns and you get freee shipping as well
Gosh, I'm blessed. My new sponsor is a non- fishing company called Globe Vend. An enterprise designed to help regular people enjoy the benefits (tax breaks) of a small company, with low start up cost, and a nice yearly return......... I'll get any here information if interested, but I wanted to celebrate with my community these small victories in life !
