Search continues for perfect deep crankbait rod

[Wishing2BFishing]

The Kistler rod . . .
Great rod for throwing shallow cranks and some mid-range cranks. Not so great for the deeper baits.

My all-purpose MH rod . . .
Not so bad for throwing the deeper guys but very bad at keeping the fish on the hook. I credit this rod with two tourney losses that I had a shot at winning if only the fish didn't come unbuttoned.

My recent purchase . . .
Per Zook's advice, I purchased a glass rod. Damn this rod is heavy. I haven't used it yet but I am not sure how I will cast my lure with any accuracy given the extreme limpness of the rod. Maybe I am not cut out for fiberglass (don't like it on cars and don't seem to like it on rods). Nevertheless, Zook, if you read this, I appreciate your help in my quest for the perfect deep crankin' rod.

My other recent purchase . . .
Because I had some concerns when I placed my order for the glass rod, I listened to the monkey and also bought a composite (part graphite and part glass). I am still waiting for this rod to be delivered.
