I use an Okuma Scott Martin TCS. It’s 7’11 Med Heavy with a Mod/fast taper. I love it. You can absolutely bomb a 6 or 8xd
 
ALX Zolo Grind. It's a 7-10 heavy/fast rod specifically designed to manage baits that dive +12'.

JB Custom Rods Missile. It's also a 7-10. Not quite as heavy on the action, lil bit softer tip. manages the big XD baits very nicely.

That Dobyns is the way to go. Bought one last year and wondered how I got by all these years without it LOL.

Any 7-7-6" med hvy fast action will work great. Check out David Dudley's youtube vids on deep crankbaiting. He explains how a stout sensitive graphite rod is best for feeling the bottom and hookset etc. I have several specialized crankin rods and have found no advantage to using glass or 's'glass rods. In fact I've found that one of them is best for a 3/4 oz chatterbait. Go figure. The heavier long rods will give you more casting distance but weigh more and will cause more fatigue over a lightweight graphite or nano core blank. The Bass Pro Shops Crankin Sticks' are great rods. I have no complaints about them. There's a broad scope of variables when it comes to crank bait technique and equipment. IMO

I love the duckett white ice II, 7‘10“, medium heavy cranking rod. Paired with a lews BB1 pro speed spool bait caster, you can launch the bait a mile. But l agree with what Glenn said above, any med hey rod over 7' gets the job done. I have an old bass pro crankin stick from 10 years ago paired with a 5500C3 that works good too. I still use it sometimes as backup.

Duckett rods has great cranking rods, from there cheapest to most expensive ones, they get the job done.
