Anybody using a St. Croix Premier Glass® Rods - Crankbait rod?

I have taken to using a lighter action grapjite rod so I have the give,
but
still have the sensitivity. I am still considering a glass rod or two. I
have one Fenglass rod I traded from a friend, and its not bad, but it
seems
to be way to heavy. I imagine it might be ok for huge cranks, but I can
hardly feel whats going on with average size cranks. I tried it with
spinner baits, and with large blade baits it wasn't too bad.


I've built several crankbait rods for guys using St. Croix blanks. They
seem to love them. I on the other hand, continue to prefer graphite.
Steve,

I actually prefer graphite as well now that they have made such a nice
slow action rod in graphite. I held a Loomis graphite crankbait rod
yesterday, and boy what a difference. I will probably bite the bullet
and pick up 2 of them next weekend.
