to go with my others, got 10ft, 12ft & a couple of 14ft'ers, dont wanna break the bank. I am currently using the Okuma rods for crank pullin and I really like them but I cant seem to find any Okuma's shorter than 10ft that will be stiff enough to pull cranks with
thanks

ya got 2 choices. BnM PSTs or Wally Marshals. WM are stiffer than BPS, but I'm not sure which of the "new" series would be equivelent to the "old" series now days. Ask Yikess. He's an expert on WMs for cranks.

Take a look at the BPS walleye angler rod. They have crank bait specific rods. Get the ones that say Trolling Rods. I use the 12'ers, and the 8'ers. They have the right action for trolling. Cabelas has a lesser expensive trolling rod that's fiberglass called a Whoopin Stick. I use s few of the 8'ers, and they work good, especially on braid because they have more flex, and won't jerk the bait outta the fish as bad. Just make sure you look at the Trolling Rods.

I meant that WMs are stiffer than PSTs, but you prolly figured that out.

Yikess doesn't use Wally Marshall Rods he uses planer boards you gewber. You were in my boat when you had the privilege to use those you big dummy.
Lew's Fishing Tackle
And yes Larry they are stiffer than Pro Staff Trollers. I have every length from 10' to 18'
Yikess....Creekslick....whatever. All you Yankee boat drivers look the same to me.
But I think I got it now...Just got to remember that Yikess don't know nuthin about nuthin and ain't an expert at anything.

The BPS Walleye Angler rods are good, but they're overpriced for what you get, IMO. I've been trolling for walleyes for years-now crappies and I keep going back to the original Ugly Stik's CAL1100 7' in either medium or medium/hvy action because the tips have just enough sensitivity to have a good bounce when running. BPS also makes a trolling specific rod that feels very good in the store and I may try one soon. They are the Leopard rods that are hi-vis yellow. They come in lengths from 7'6" and up and seem like a real good rod for the $50-60 range.
I been using an 8ft. and a 12ft. silstar of each side,and a 14ft.PST. I dont have any problem with the silstars but up here im not catching 3# crappie either. But I did catch a 30# cat on the 12ft. that rod was bent in two but no problem landing the fish.
PST 16, 12, and 8 out each side. Right action and right spread. Any more questions?
same setup I got Nathan
I'm a Wally Marshall guy just like Yikeslick
Exactly my set up.Quote:

on shorter rods i have used cheap med action rods from wallyworld with success.my crank setup for this year will be 5ft6in cheap med. action,10fter PST,14fter PST,18fter PST hope i can get use to them 18fters,14`s are the longest ive fished with so far:juggle
Agree with BnM pro trollers.
