Glass -VS- Graphite Cranking

[CiK]

I think the argument will always be there, and the choice comes down to personal preference. Graphite will help you determine what you are running a crankbait over a lot better (ie: rocks, mud). Where a glass rod will be more forgiving when they inhale the bait.

I lost a few fish this year on graphite rods where the fish made a last ditch run at the boat and ripped the hooks out. Those graphite rods probably were a little too stiff those days. I am making the switch back to glass next year by building my own glass rods this winter. I am hoping for better results.
