    Cranking Blank - Deep Cranking

    I am looking for some suggestions on the best cranking blank 7'6" or longer. Plan to crank dt16, dt14, dt10, fat free shads and strike king series 5-6. I really don't want to extend a blank. I like single 1 piece. Thank you for your help in advance!

    Batson CB76M is your best bet. Economoical and a nice parabolic bend with a lifetime warranty!

    I built one for myself using a St Croix saltwater blank - GI76MM, it was actually 7'8". I love it. Moderate action, meduim power. The medium heavy is a GI76MHF, which may bet better for the big baits you want to use. Cost is about $65 - $70.

    i agree with the batson. Although i would go to the CB76MH (med hvy). I've built on 2 medium actions and they run light. The MH is a good med-deep crank blank. They are very light also.
    Next step up would be a loomis CB blank.
