Is a Tour KVD Crankin Rod Good?

[Bretts_daddy]

I am wondering what the opinion on a 6'8" Tour KVD crankin' rod, medium/moderate is? It looks very thick around the bottom where the rod meets the handle but it's only rated for 1/4oz. - 3/8oz. lure weights...is this rugged enough for 1.5" square bills? What would be the limit you'd try with this rod?

Well KVD uses them. I wouldn't go with a heavier weight than what they say.

I have had one for a number of years and I have just recently put it back in service.  Always liked the rod just got away from it for a while for no good reason.  Does a great job on square bills and spinner baits.  Don't think I would buy another one but only because I have been totally spoiled by my LSCRs.  If I was gonna buy a production rod it most likely would be Dobyns
