[QUOTE="H82bogey, post: 342447, member: 1372"] For rods, just make sure whatever you buy has glass. Much better at absorbing the shock of the fish and won't tear hooks out. Personally, I have been using the scheels brand rods for about 7 years and have had great success with them, and I mostly crank. For reels, I use the Okuma cold water series in different sizes. Larger for lead core and smaller sizes for fireline. I actually keep an extra set of the smaller reels so I can switch back and forth between lead core and fireline on the short rods. I always run fireline on my longer rods and when I need to get smaller cranks deep, I use the snap weights. Just remember, snap weights can damage the lead core line(breaks the lead inside the Dacron. In the world of crankin', the reel is more important than the rod. It's not like jigging where you need the sensitivity, you need a quality reel that will last and has an accurate line counter. Another good tip, when spooling your reels, get the same amount of line on each reel and fill them full so the line counter is accurate. I could go on forever about crankin', it my favorite way to put walleye in the boat. If you have more questions, I"m happy to help as best I can. [/QUOTE]
