Rods?

With all the new rods that seem to be out there, and myself looking to
add one or two to mix for next season......I'd like some advice.

Typically, I use spinnerbaits or topwaters where there is standing pools
off the main lakes.

I'm starting to dabble in crankbaits - so, this bears my next question:
What is a crankin' rod?

I think I am also looking for something ML for some 1/8-1/4 oz
spinnerbaits?

Currently I have an old 6'6" Diawa one piece spincast rod (looking for a
new reel), two Quantum Accurist (401's, I think) which I like....they are
on a 6' Rhino M (one piece) and a 6'6 Rhino MH (one piece).

I think I like the dual trigger rods - it helps when I wind up with a
northern instead of a bass....but they seem a little less sensitive than
my old Diawa.

But, I'm really trying to become competant in the baitcasters. I was
looking to get another one of those as well.....either one of hte new
Quantum's or possibly a Pflueger - I've seen some good reviews on it.

So....kinda vague, I guess. Looking for a new spinning reel, two rods,
and two other reels perhaps.
