casting crankbaits

I have the LTBC66MHF that i’ve thrown for years. It will handle cranks easily, either casting or trolling. I know its a bit stiffer but i think the rod you have in mind would work good. Hopefully this helps, Dan

I would also consider a Avid AVC 70MF…for your application. Mine works great with #8 Shadraps.

I have had both. In my opinion, the MM is a bit light for larger plugs.I felt the mhm was and would be a better all around fit for the plugs you mentioned.

Dean,
Do you think the MM would be a good fit for #5 and #7 shad raps or do you think the MHM would also be able to handle these cranks as well?

I typically run #9 tail dancers, #8 shad raps and #9 minnow raps but do ocassionally go smaller too.

Ideally,the MM for #5 sizes and the MHM for the bigger stuff.If only going with one,I would and do prefer the MHM . You probably have another rod already that will work for the lighter plugs.Good luck!
