When I throw crankbaits it’s mostly squarebills and I’m a loomis guy but what’s everyone else using to throw square bill crankbaits

Lew's square bill rod. Med/Hvy moderate.
22 Triton TRX20 22 Pro XS 250
16 Triton 1760sc 16 Merc 75hp
6’9”-7’ mhmf. Whatever is comfortable and cast the lures I’m using well.
I use both a 6’ 10” and a 7’... one glass composition, one graphite both medium action. I know a few guys that use the glx for squarebills, I’ve settled in on two St. Croix’s for this.
GLX845cbr for me.
I hear great things about the imx pro 845cbr. I use dobyns champ xp 704cb and 705cb. Just picked up shimano expride a 7’2 mh for squarebills but haven’t used it yet.

RPM custom squarebill/trap rod.
GLoomis E6x 7' MH Mod Cranking series. Works decent, no reason to spend over $200 on a cranking rod.
Flatside Special and Shimano Expride A 7'2 med heavy.
Dobyns 705cb glass
6ft 10in medium St Croix Legend Glass. Awesome rod!
Megabass flat side special
For short distance target casting shallow squarebills, I actually started using a 13 Fishing Defy 6'7"MH that has a decent moderate action. Less than $50 invested, and it's been working great. So good, that I bought another. They actually work great for jerkbaits too!
megabass swingfire. They are the best squarebill/ shallow cranking rods I have ever used.

Cumara cranking rod core reel
megabass destroyer SFMS
megabass destroyer deep throat custom both with TDZ TYPE R
Megabass Levante or Orochi XX Diablo Spec R
Dobyns 764CB RM, or 685CB if fishing docks and trees n such.
Have been eyeing the CBR series from Loomis since I switched my bottom contact rods from Dobyns to GLoomis NRX, but the Dobyns Champ XP CB line is really, really good.
I've read 855 makes a great squarebill rod as well...
