Hey man just cause it's not $200 doesn't mean it's not a great rod! The Premier is an AWESOME rod for the price!

I know, I have one. It is a Premier Crankbait Series, 7', MH, $120.00. This is a great rod if you ever change your mind!
Keep in mind St. Croix also make 'glass series Crankin' Sticks... -Lunk-

LL, if I was going to get a baitcasting crankin' stick, I'd invest in a G. Loomis.
The only G. Loomis rod I've ver used was a cusom rod my dad made on a Loomis blank. Wasn't for bass fish either. I would really like to own a Loomis, but they are a bit pricey. BB

Then go for it, man! Loomis' are great rods for the price. That's all we used up in Alaska and you couldn't beat them. I couldn't really feel the difference between my Croix's and them though. Seriously...
You may also want to check out the new Fenwick Elite-Tech's. They are technique-specific rods that just came off the line. Never owned one, but I've heard rave reviews! -Lunk-

The thing about the Elite-Tech and the Loomis rods is they are way out of my price range, like I said, I'd like ot keep it under $130. I think Iw ill go the the Falcon LowRider.
Thanks again for all the help guys. BB
