Let me first say that I'm a deep cranking addict. Theres always a 20ft diver on the deck of my boat 12 months a year and i've probably owned more of them than i can remember. I've always prefered graphite over glass, mostly because it felt more powerful and more sensitive. My preferred rod of choice for the last couple of years has been a Powell 806CB. After talking to Keith Bryan at Powell i was convinced to try the new Composite Deep Cranking Rod sold exclusively at Tackle Warehouse. This rod was simply amazing. When I first held it in my hand it felt really balanced and light weight paired with my Shimano E5. I decided to take it to the lake and put it to work. The Baits of choice were a Lucky Craft R.C 3.5XD, Bassstar Big Mac and a Strike King 6XD. The rod loaded beautifuly on the cast to the point were it seemed almost effortless and it felt strong and sensitive like graphite. Then I got my first fish on and thats were it felt like Glass. Every time the fish surged or made a run the rod softly went with it. I landed several fish on it through out the day including a 6lber and a couple of 5's. Needless to say im sold on this rod. It seems to be the best of glass and graphite rolled into one. I also threw a 3/8oz buzzbait and a 1/2 spinnerbait as well which it handled great. If any one is looking for a Deep Cranking rod or a very versitile rod for multiple reaction baits I would highly recommend this rod.
