I wanted to build my main crankbait rod so I have everything I consider important in a rod, such as handle, reel seat, guides etc, the way I want them. My question is what rod works best. I've heard a lot about Loomis crank rods, but I don't know which model to use. The 843 blank in a 6'6" med. action or the heavier model in 7' med. hvy action? Note that the local SoCal lake I fish is shallow(30 feet at deepest point) and full of tullies and shallow cover. Therefore medium and shallow cranks are what I use most often, so I'm not hauling big divers all day. There are tons of docks, and casting accuracy I've found pretty important, so I was thinking the 6'6" model but what do you guys think? Any other blank suggestions are defintely appreciated( none of that Loomis only crud, their just the only blanks in my price range so far.)
