The Reason Why I Crank with a Graphite Composite Rod over Graphite

[@davidchubbs3804]

I have this rod and it’s my favorite. It’s lighter and more sensitive than my other graphite composite rods. And the power & action is perfect. I’m excited to hear about the deep cranking rod!

[@michaelloucks4448]

Hey Mr wheeler I have heard just nothing but fantastic reviews on your signature series rods and you sold me I'm Jacob I have not heard even one bad review about and that's very rare I'm 57 yrs old and I live in Missouri I love the handles on both casting and spinning rods . Congratulations on your new baby in the family sorry it took me so long to come around I have medical issues and I think you're rod's are going to make me feel more comfortable fishing out on the water 💦 God bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike ps I know it's never going to happen but boy I wish I could go fishing with you for 1 day on the water I know you have a very busy schedule have a great year out on the tournament trail.

[@bassakwd1]

Didn't know you were going to these rod vlogs, but it works out great..bought this same rod a month ago and using it 4 square bills... Very 1st cast was a 4lbr...so i bought another... Big ding on the rod J...

[@Krealot]

It took me a while but i finaly found my favorite rod I have tried so far. A 7'1" graphite rod. best rod i ever had. So good I managed to get a 33lbs Northern Pike on it without a hitch :)

[@Vet4Bass]

It would be awesome to see you getting pigs in a Kayak. That 7’2” is my go to for all on the Yak.

[@mattbeitzel7266]

Thank you for taking the time to explain your fishing rods. I have been wanting to get one and was not sure what to get. I just got my first bass boat out here in Delaware so I need to start getting some tackle. Enjoy all your videos!! Just wait until your daughter starts going with you. I have a 8 year old girl and it is a blast!!!

[@mikemo7849]

Was googling crankbait rods to buy and this link popped up. Thanks.

[@juanlobo3202]

Yet another phenomenal JW series rod. I have this one as well. I love this rod but interestingly it sounds like I use it differently than Jacob. I actually find I have a tough time casting the shallow water / smaller cranks (dt6 size, shad raps, etc) with this rod, but it frickin launches a 6XD or DT12, so thats usually what I have tied on. (also I seem to rarely get on a good shallow crank bite which probably has something to do with it.)

[@kirkreusch8415]

Jacob, does Duckett fishing make its own blanks? If not, do you know the blanks the utilize. More great content sir.

[@joshuahowell7565]

These videos are awesome! Already own 3 of these and they are excellent rods! Can you do a video on the 7’2” MH? That’s the one I’m interested in for my next rod.

[@jasonboose9486]

I use a duckett Silverado 7ft. Medium. I love it. It works for me. Before that I had a bps cranking stick. Before that a st croix.

[@tylermiller7594]

I love the silverado for cranking

[@derekwilliams6403]

I love the st.criox out of the 3

[@markstheory]

Jacob, excellent! I saw your reply for line size. Can you please share what your reel ratio is for this setup? thanks!

[@bokettom]

I’m love my Duckett Ghost 7’6” MH cranking rod but I want to get one of your 7’2” rods to try as well

[@sasf6605]

Do you think glass cranking rods are a good choice for under 12 foot divers or just a good choice in general ?

[@MrRoccosaurus]

Could you do an electronics video on what you would recommend at different price points? Budget setup, middle of the road, and a high end setup. You always talk about what you’re running but 90% of us can’t afford your setup.

[@WheelerFishing]

Really good point! I can definitely add this to the list. Thank guy for the comment.

[@marshallwoodfishing2051]

Awesome Redcrest Jacob!!!

[@59BigWalt]

Are there any ceramic or ceramic composite rods you prefer?

[@hunterhanshaw1071]

Would this rod be good for a dt8 or dt10 I want a rod for those baits only.

[@brianrobinson9979]

You could always supplement a graphite rod that you use for cranking by going Braid to a Monofilament leader. The stretch of the mono will give you the delayed reaction just like a graphite/glass composite rod will

[@Washyourbellybutton]

Mono floats and kills the depth of crankbaits.

[@SuperBroker9759]

The one creator I like the video before I watch.

[@jasonmausteller2488]

You throw lipless on this rod?

[@Rowdythedisneydad]

Would this be a good rod for jerkbaits too?

[@noahkuboushek4030]

What gear ratio do you use for deep crankbaits

[@mikebailey2119]

Jacob, are you using 15lb fluorocarbon for this rod and do you use this rod for spinnerbaits and chatterbaits also?

[@WheelerFishing]

Normally 12lb Fluor but I’ll go up to 14-17 lb line or as low as 8 if I’m trying to get the bait deeper

[@fishing_amy]

I have the same rod. It's a good one

[@dondieselfishing4748]

What size line do u like for this rod

[@WheelerFishing]

Really appreciate it man!

[@WheelerFishing]

My all around favorite cranking line is 12lb but I will go up to 17lb and go as low as 8lb

[@dusty1792]

Congrats to you and DC for your finishes at Redcrest! Do you use the same rod for bladed jigs?

[@ollieplayz8323]

Hi Wheeler

[@jordanaustin7274]

What they biting at chick got a tourny Saturday

[@oliverm.9066]

I am think about getting a frogging rod. What should I get? I am going to get a Silverado but I do t know what specs to get. I thought I would just do a 7,3 or 7,6 heavy, fast action, but I have heard you say you use a 7,0 medium heavy. Why?

[@daltonjohnson2818]

You cannot walk a top water with a long rod unless your over 7 feet tall or your rod tip will hit the water when working your bait

[@WheelerFishing]

I would recommend the 7”3 heavy for all around frog fishing. I usually use a 7”6 heavy when I’m fishing Lilly pads or fishing matted grass flats with a frog though

[@oliverm.9066]

@@WheelerFishing thanks so much for commenting!

[@Roboworm99]

👍🏼

[@jeremygrewell8266]

Hey Jacob, I'm trying to find this exact rod. Is there a link somewhere that I've missed?

[@kdeal5522]

Whos the maker. Not sure where to get it.

[@johnosborne2021]

Duckett makes them. Academy sells the rods and most good tackle shops have them too

[@onemorecast1352]

J Dub!

[@ansonyt3966]

I still prefer graphite for mathematics and some writing since you can erase it

[@leeenjoyinglife3049]

Ding I'm 1st

[@tylerwhitmire6435]

Congrats
