What action and length should I get for light to medium cranks and spinnerbaits?
I was think 7' medium with extrafast action?
Opinions??

For cranking you don't want extra-fast action. You will want a medium parabolic action.

i would suggest mono you dont want the hooks to pull out on a soft bite the mono will have a little stretch and wont pull out as easy

The pair + 12lb Seagar (sp) cost me 160 otd. Thats not bad for a quality combo for this weekend warrior.

I guess there are two sides to that arguement. With the crystal clear lakes that I fish in Georgia Flouro helps disguise the line and allows your bait to work a little deeper since it sinks and mono floats. The rod is supposed to aborsb the bite imo. I know that there are two schools of thought on this. If I notice that I am loosing fish I will swap to mono and see if the catch rate changes.
