How To Select A Crankbait Rod | Lose Less Fish

[@lojofishing]

I'm so terrible at anything crankbait related, but this helped me out for sure

[@fishingwitheddie1535]

Oh hi lojo

[@trevperkins3680]

Dang, the LOJO approval

[@adam6471vicki]

Thanks for the great info. No one else is sharing this info.

[@scottarceneaux7745]

Good info.I just started back into fishing,and i did not know that,Thanks your video's are always informative.Please keep doing good video's.thanks

[@seatee4770]

What brand rod is that? Allpro did you say?

[@Edge1775]

Seriously precise! very well explained Chad. Great video. as always thanks for all you do for the sport brother.

[@johnnyrainey7861]

Another thought for a good question. What if anything else would this rod be good for? Kinda important to limit the number of rods in a kayak.

[@Larry77777]

small treble hook hard baits including 3 to 6 inch (75 to 150 mm) jerkbaits: floating/suspending/slow-rising/slow-sinking

[@Grablifebythefish1]

Great video!!!! Love your tips videos. Always learning something new.

[@fishingva9946]

Grablifebythefish 1 probably be a good jig rod

[@ScaryTerry357]

Is a medium fast action rod okay for crankbaits

[@ChadHooverFishing]

I prefer moderate action for crankbaits with just a few specialized exceptions. Medium is a power rating, not an action. So, a moderate fast will work, but I would suggest a moderate or moderate slow instead for most crankbait applications

[@ScaryTerry357]

Okay thanks

[@caseymclamb5890]

Great tips Chad! Very helpful. Definitely didn't know that about the rod length w/ cranking rods.

[@howabouthetruth2157]

A good quality reel with super-smooth drag set fairly loose helps a lot too. SO DOES THE STRETCH OF MONOFILAMENT LINE. I prefer the Lew's BB1 Pro reel like you do. Their TP1 Speed Stick called their "perfect crank-back rod" is amazing for only $100. The rod is 7' 3". Super light, very sensitive IM8 graphite blanks, great parabolic bend, well balanced, great components for the price. I love this rod, but I love all of the TP1 Speed Sticks. I haven't found a better $100 rod anywhere. After 2 years of hard fishing, I have yet to break one either.

Hey chad thanks for the info! Just got me a ss127 can't wait to put it on the water!

[@michaelwise8066]

I've talked the wife into letting me pick one up as well. T-Minus a week! What color did you go with?

Chad, Great rundown from all of those points about selecting a #CrankbaitRod I feel the number one aspect after the Length, Power. and Action would have to be the handle length. I've used the ones with lnger handles and it makes for a uncomfortable day of Cranking.

[@michaeldelcambre349]

If you cannot get a parabolic rod at least use a fiberglass rod for treble hook baits. Will land more fish due to the way it loads and unloads slower.

[@johnnyrainey7861]

One of your best video's! Question is how well would this rod doubling as a jerkbait rod, or would I need something different? And what is the actual difference? Another question is where is the best place to buy this rod?

[@OddZ45]

Great info chad, but my thumbs up is going out to your camera man or woman! thank you for the amazing wide footage to look at the rod and letting us see the bend in the rod play. LOVED IT!! That is a beautiful smiling face though. i do wanna see you hit that handle in one try again though;)

[@maxpsi01]

Hey chad can you make a video about what size and action rod you recommend to a new kayak bass fisherman?

[@tallen316]

Chad, do you have any videos showing the rod and reel setups that are on your kayak? Thanks!

[@mikeperez4727]

Great video. Can you make a video on how to flip or pitch on a kayak.

[@rowdybroomstick1216]

I have a Walmart kvd crank bait rod that was marked down from 149 to 49 thought I was getting out like a bandit when I first picked up the rod but after having it awhile I realize the rod has no give , but surprisingly haven't lost any fish, but still want to upgrade

[@mmtaxidermy08]

Great video Chad. I am going to relook at all my rod reel set up on my crank bait rod. What braided line test do you use on crank setup (leader or no). Do you have a videos on top water rod setup and /or a jiggin’ setup? Keep me coming bro👍👊

[@smcewen7]

M&M Taxidermy use a good mono for crank baits,I use Berkley XL it's cheap and works great.You will just Rip the crank bait out with braided line,you need that stretch

[@RubiconJoey]

Great information!

[@StevieG21]

Hey @chad, any chance you have any videos on your canoe/kayak racks in the background? Thanks!

[@gregrushton4241]

Chad new to kayak fishing and this is fantastic information!!!!!!! What information do you have for guys that are fishing in rivers that the baitfish I see ar super small like 2 inch small I can't get my baitcaster to throw the lure that small

[@ashleem1387]

You always need a baitcaster reel to operate a crankbait or can you use a spinner reel too?

[@Ozzypup1]

Ashlee M You can also use spinning reels for them. Thats all I used for years until I switched to baitcasters this year and I never had any problems.

[@pedrodiaz2272]

Sup Bro, im shopping for new electronics, I think Lowrance hook2 7 tripleshot. Its a big difference when U see thru the downscan. Can you do a video about how to read, sonar, downscan and sidescan? I ask cuz i see in your videos a Lowrance in your Kayak, thanks Man
