Rated 5 out of 5Â by oldfish great rod
i have many brands and types of rods and this rod is by far the best rod I have. the rod is light and you can feel everything that your line will come into contact with. I have pay much more for some of the rods that I have and they are not has light and don't have the feel this mico magic rod does. this is a great rod for the money.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by bcjr Best crank rod I own
I have a lot of crank rods, St. Croix Premier, St. Croix Mojo Bass, Falcon Bucuu, Wright McGill Skeet Reese. This Duckett is my favorite.

GeogiaBassSlayer11" crankin rod, used the rod the day after it arrived......the cork on the bottom of the handle snapped on the 9th cast leaving the blank exposed behind where the cork used to be. Besides that it's actually a decent cranking rod. Just a little disappointed that a $169 broke so easily, kinda in an unusual spot too. Its my second Duckett rod and I don't think I'll be purchasing another. The quality control process seems to be lacking. My other Duckett is slightly warped at the tip and has excess epoxy around the guides, this doesn't cause a loss in performance but just not what I expect with the price tag attached. Next time I'm in the market for a $160-200 rod I will go with another loomis GL2. IMO best rod for the money.
If the rod hadn't broke so quickly I'd be giving a great review. It launches big cranks a mile and handles 12'+ diving cranks with ease especially given how light the rod is. Sending the rod back this week, hopefully the replacement isn't defective.

Purchased the 7'6" MH model for Deep Diving Crankbaits. I couldn't be more pleased. It's light, smooth
and has plenty of power to pull in the lunkers. Probably adds another ten yards to my cast from my previous crankbait rod.

the way it bends.
A:Â
A 'parabolic' rod is one that has a relatively soft tip, a significantly stiffer mid section, then softens up again in the butt section. Basically, the slower the rod, the more of a bend you will see from the tip to the butt in an even, uniform bend (commonly referred to as parabolic).Thanks!

I'm looking for only one crankbait rod to do all my cranking with. Will this 7'6" M rod be a good all around rod for shallow RC 1.5 as well as strike king 6xd and possibly dd22's. Or should I look into getting the Casting version of this rod for my needs? ThanksAnswers

It will work okay. I do about 10% of my cranking with this rod. Its kind of an in-betweener. It does not do well with light lures and is horrible for deep cranking (it has poor feel with deep baits). I really like this rod but I would not consider it versatile. I have a very specific use for it and its a joy to fish when I do.A:Â
YES!!!! Great choiceA:Â
Should fit the bill, idk about the deep cranking but it will be great for shallowDetails:Â
Specs given for both rods same. Only difference appears to be length. Anyone have the details on this?Answers

The crankin rods are made of a fiberglass instead of a graphite

Triggersticks are casting rods with long handles. (as opposed to traditional pistol grip casting rods). Just about all casting rods are triggerstick now days.Cranking sticks are designed specifically for fishing treble hook lures and should always have a softer tip and slower parobolic action. The specs might be the same (eg M-MF, MH-MF) but they are different rods as the crankin stick should have a softer tip for treble hook forgiveness.

The biggest difference is the actions of the crankin series is that these rods all have much more forgiving actions on them . Meaning that when a fish is on the rod has more give to allow the fish to take the bait deeper into the mouth and to keep from pulling the small trebles out of their mouths during the fight . I have used 20 different types of crankin rods over the past 20 years and these are diffinitely right up there even with the gloomis rods . I love them. Very light too . Hope that helps out . Good luck and tight lines .Q:Â

Go with something longer.A:Â
you should be ok for now, but i think for the deep divers you will eventually want to upgrade. they are very sensitive.A:Â
I would suggest a 7'6" for deep divers more rod action and better feel for your baitA:Â
I don't think it's enough for deep divers.
Top 500 Contributor
A:Â
Rod length is not the key factor in determining the suitability of a rod for a given use.Most would consider the rod a little clunky, but I like the 7' length for deep divers and square bills. I get better casting distance, better control, etc., but again, they can wear you down after a hard day of fishing.

The 7'11" is the best rod for the deep diving cranks but the 7' med is the better all around rod you just wont get as long of a cast with the deep divers compared to the 7'11" rod . Still the 7' footer will definitely be the best all around one rod only rig to start with . Go with a 5.1 to 1 reel and you wont be sorry . Good luck and tight lines .Details:Â
Is the tip still soft enough to throgh a 5/16oz crankbait?Thanks
Answers
A:Â
yes. they will cast better than any other rod.A:Â
YesA:Â
Yes it is, especially the 6' to 6'6" rods. Go to Duckett fishing website & look at Boyds suggested uses for each rod.A:Â
On the 6'9 and the 7' medium action rods you should not have a problem given you have a good quality reel.

Yes but I have gotten a little better distance from my 6'6" med/light Carbonlight paired up with a Curado 50E at casting these light weight cranks . I really don't cast these light weight cranks much so sometimes I don't take my carbonlight combo mentioned above and will use the Duckett 7' rod paired with the Curado 50E instead with good results though just not as good as the other . The Duckett rod is much more sensitive though . I am very happy with the carbonlight sensitivity too just the Duckett rods are in a class all alone where sensitivity is concerned . I also will use my spinning rod ( 7' m/l Falcon Cenderi ) paired with a Sustain 2500 and 2/10 # braid for these light cranks in what I feel is really a super setup for stained to muddy waters . I really get the most distance this way and the the light rod absorbs the battle close to the boat very well . Just make sure not to set the drag to high on this setup . I guess for that matter on the other rigs too but really important if using braid line . I always switch to backreel as the fish gets closer to the boat when using braid . Hope this helps out in some way . Good Luck !!Answers

on the cranking rods, they are very limber on the tips, but they have stiff backbone. perfect for cranking, and spinnerbaits IMO.A:Â
Yes, its moderate
Top 10 Contributor
A:Â
Yes they are moderate . They have even give down to the mid point in the rod then they really turn into what I would call nearly a med/medhvy power . The action is for sure moderate not parabolic all the way down . In my opion they are perfect . I have 3 of them and plan on buying 3 more . They really give me total confidence to crank away .A:Â
The action of the new crankbait rods are unique. When you go to cast the rod it loads up like a medium action rod giving you alot of backbone and power to make really long cast. Once the bait enters the water it is a soft feeling sensitive action like the finest of crankbait rods. When you need to give the bait a quick solid pump to free it from grass it hits a kind of solid section of the rod breaking it free easier than glass rods. I hope this is a good enough explanation because the unique action of this rod is kind of hard to explain. I did go to this rod exclusively from a KVD rod 2 Kistler cranking rods and a St. croix mojo bass for all my cranking rods. The white rods are also the lightest best balanced rods I own and am in the process of switching to all Duckett rods.Answers

Dont worry about it. These rods are garbage. The guides break. The tip of the rod freys. The line rubs on the rod because the guides are too close. Stay away from the first generation micro guides. The newer ones are getting bigger and more durable.

I am somewhat reluctant to answer your question because I don't own this rod, but .........Winding checks are normally found between the butt winding and the handle. This rod appears to have no butt winding/wraps, but has an aluminum winding check to transition from the rod black to the handle.
