Ultimate Crankbait Rod?

[BigBassin144]

Alright, Before the get together, I'm looking to get a crankin' rod.

I've looked at the very few they have at our BPS, and lots and lots of them online. I can't wait for teackle tour's next edition in their Year of the Crank rod wars.

I'd like longer than 7'. 7'6" is preferable. Other than that, the normal qualities of a crankbait rod. This will most be for shallow-midium divers. Anywhere from XCalibur wakebaits to about DT10s, so I'd like to have a M power rod.

Some of the rod's I've looked at are:

B&R Outlaw Rods: 7'6" Graphite crankbait rod (don't know the power)
Falcon LowRider: 7'6" M
Phenix 7' MH or 7'6" MH (a bit heavy, but great review on TT)
American rodsmiths (fairly heavy rod though.) (actually one they had at our BPS)
Shimano compre or crucial.

My main problem is that I can't actually look at the rods before I purchase one...

What do you guys think about the rods I've got there and any other suggestions?

Thanks,
BB
