BPS Crankin Stick rods.

[keithdog]

BPS will have their Crankin Sticks on sale soon and I was considering getting one for my large deep diving crankbaits. I was looking at the 7 foot MH power, but two things concern me. I know this rod is very popular with some of the fellas in here, but I would prefer a moderate action instead of a fast action. I know thats a little subjective between brands. One companies fast action might be a little slower or faster than another companies fast action. All the crankin sticks are listed as either a fast action or xtra fast, which goes against what is supposed to be the prefered action, which is medium or moderate. The other concern I have is that BPS changed the crankin sticks for 2010. They arn't made the same as the earlier versions which may not be a good thing. Looking at the BPS website and reading about the crankin sticks, I read the customer reviews and many were very unhappy with the crankin sticks. Several complained about thier new crankin sticks breaking while fighting a fish or setting the hook. So I thought I would see if anyone in here had purchased a new 2010 version Crankin Stick, and if so, how's it performing? And would you have a different rod altogether you would prefer to use?
