Budget minded crankbait rods

[keithdog]

I have been looking into buying one, maybe two new rods to use for crankbaits this next year. Much has been spoken in here about crankbait rods. However, no one has mentioned, to my memory, any Gander Mountain rods. I have a couple Gander Mountain rods and they have served me well. However, I havn't really looked at the Gander Mountain rods in several years. So I went on line to see what they have. Obviously, you can't really tell much about a rod without actually holding one in your hands. But based on what I could read, it looks like there are several to choose from that run under $100.00. I saw one line of their rods which are made of IM7 graphite blanks, and offer moderate action tips on medium power rods. And at only $59.00. For those needing a new crankbait rod who are on a tight budget, like me, it may be worth looking into.
