    Your going to hear a lot of different answers but this is what I have been pulling crankbaits with for past 8 years. BnM Pro Troller ( PST) rods......and Okuma MagnaPro 15 line counter reels.

    4 foot difference in rods length sure makes a big difference. I run 18, 14, 10, and a 6 footer. If you aren't in a 20 foot rig the 18s can be a pain tho.
