My Castaway Xp3 843 crankbait rod, recommended by Lance at Swampland is now
on the dryer, with finsh coat #1. Originally I felt it was a bit stiff but I can now say Lance was right on, it has more of a moderate action as he said (spec'd as Mod/Fast) and a very nice flex. I put on a #6 DF, #5 micro, #4 micros to tip and test cast it the other day. I'll do finish coat #2 tomorrow and have it ready for use this weekend - I can't wait. Thanks again to Swampland, great recommendation. Re: Crankbait rod follow-up

I think you will love it! I've thrown some pretty light cranks, as well as traps. It handles them well.
