Hey there, folks. I'm going to be building my first crankbait rod and was wondering what some of the 'features' are that people prefer on crankbait rods. What i'm thinking so far:
- Obviously longer rod. Looking at a 7'9" Phenix blank
- Longer handle / split handle (for more leverage for longer casts)
If the guides had a larger-than-normal inside diameter, would that increase casting distance?
Any other tips folks would be willing to share?
