| For walleye? 6 or 6 and half foot Medium action with power pro 10lb test 2 lb diameter line. | |

| Casting cranks is my absolute favorite way to fish eyes and I fish a river 90% of the time. My prefered combo is a 7'6" Fig Rig Medium action, 6/20 Power pro and either a Shimano Calcutta or Curado.
The 7'6 gives me distance when I need it and lure control for casting structure and fighting cranks against the wind when you have to. The medium action loads real nice for casting control and is more forgiving for the almost missed strike. Lots of power to get the fish to the boat out of current or cover.
The 6/20 line is perfect for baitcast reels. It lays nicly on the spool and comes off just as nice on the cast. Also, when the inevitable backlash ocurrs, it's easy to get out in about the time of a single cast. You also loose almost no lures on snags because the line is strong enough to even straighten a hook. The reels are problem free 100% of the time and just work like they are supposed to. | |

| 7ft Fenwick, Pfleuger Trion with 10/2 Power Pro line. I like to Power Pro because it is round and in current or fast trolling speeds it cannot lay flat in the water and raise the depth of your crank, it ties like mono, it is very abrasion resistant, doesnt frey easily (if at all) and casts like a dream. I have become addicted to pitching cranks all summer long on Devils Lake in ND and the longer rod takes alot of the effort out of casting. | |
