Lew's XD Cranking Series Casting Rods

The Lew's XD Cranking Series is a top-notch rod designed for serious anglers focused on crankbait fishing. Its Premium HM50 Tour Grade high modulus Graphite blank, constructed with Carbon Nano Tube technology, delivers the ideal power for strong hooksets and long casts. The soft tip is essential for battling fish, creating excellent bait action, and reducing fatigue during extended cranking sessions. This hybrid construction is perfect for the demanding nature of crankbait fishing for both the rod and the angler.

The Lew's XD Cranking Series offers 5 models of rods specially designed to handle the challenges of heavy cranking. These rods feature SEAGUIDE X-Frame guides for smooth casting and delicate movement of line under constant tension and vibration. Each crank of the reel is effortless with the Winn DRY-TAC polymer grips, along with exclusive full-length handle grips. These rods perfectly complement the Strike King XD series of crankbaits or similar lures. Choose from two Medium Fast cranking rods in 7'4" and 7'6" lengths for lighter diving plugs and square bills, or opt for the 7'6" Medium Heavy and 7'8" Medium Heavy rods for bigger and deeper diving baits. For longer casts, heavier lines and deep divers, the 7'10" Medium Heavy rod is the perfect choice. The models available include the 3 XD, 5 XD, 6 XD, 8XD, and 10 XD.
