I have not used any cranks with it but it can handle 3 gram blade baits just fine. I need to fish the Lunakia more...build is impeccable and sensitivity is fantastic. It is only recently that Major Craft has started making rods any China. Not sure where the Triple Cross is made.....some on here can tell you. The TwinPower is a great reel...but much heavier than the new Luvias. Right now is a difficult time to find certain reels and or rods.....I'm trying my best to find a Super Bellezza but cannot do so. Here is video of the Lunakia bringing in a 20 inch Smallie in current...never felt under powered. Can't stress enough just how great and versatile the new Luvias reel is. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Thanks so much for the info! I’ve spent a lot of my free time in the last week or so obsessing over available information and your videos (which I enjoy thoroughly). So is there much difference between the YB Nano and the original out of production TZ that makes the original better at what I’m looking for?

It sounds like the Lunakia will work but its not quite as good that the TZ/Nano at the prescribed tasks? How delicate is the Lunakia compared to the TZ Nano; both in terms of big fish fighting and accidental abuse? I will check out your video on the subject, thanks for the link.

If it’s just as good to get the Lunakia, and I can’t get a hold of the YB BC TZ Nano then it might just make sense to do that.

It looks like there are windows in which I can try to snag a Luvias. I’ve always wanted a JDM twin power ever since I saw a Japanese tv show that made it into a big deal. It being heavier in general maybe means I should save that for when I get a JDM bass specific spinning rod.
