    That is a pretty broad question, and I would not use the same rod for cranks as I would for flippin/pitchin. Your best bet might be to go to a local store (I like the mom and pop stores, but the big boys carry a larger selection) and talk to someone there and see how different combo's feel in your hand. You might find a compromise combo, but realise that it is just that, a compromise and will be better at one app than the other or not particularly good at either. Tom

    I don't think you can get a set-up for that price, (I mabe wrong) but most flipping reels start at about $90.00 and up.

    I agree with bulltrout. For cranking you need a rod with a slow action tip to take th shock of a fish hitting the carnkbait (St Croix 7' Priemer Medium action Crankbait rod $120)and a reel with a gear raito of 4.3:1 or 5.1:1 for the power they have. Depending on the mfg from $80 to $100
    For pitching and filpping I reccomend a 7' heavy action rod matched up with a high speed reel 7.1:1 for moving them out of the brush or weeds fast.
    Check out the St Croix line of Mojo Bass rods they have a rod for every applacation and they are fairly enexpensive $90 to $100.

    Great, June 3, 2010
    By DLeBlanc from Barre, MA


    "I owned a black max for a few months befor buying another. I love the first so much I needed a second for fishing jigs. To my suprise the new black max comes with a flipping switch. The switch makes pithing much easier, and I have not backlashed once. For the price of the rod, reel, and brand name you can not go wrong. It's no Revo but for the money it's worth every penny and then some. I will def buy more."

    For Trout in a lake I use
    Ugly Stick Ultralight one-piece rod w/ ($30)
    a Shimano Sienna, Sedona ($60), Pfleuger 6720, 6725, Trion, Daiwa, Abu Garcia, or any 500 reel.

    For slightly heavier try a Berkely Cherrywood with the 1000 reels
    There are also good shakespeare combos.
