Ive got the evergreen kaleido inspirare super steed gt-r paired up with a steez ct and its the best light crank rod ive ever used. I use it for all moving baits up to 3/8 oz and its incredible
Do You think this rod coul manage 1/2 crankbaits?


thanks
I think it could handle 1/2 oz cranks but it would be at the very top of its weight abilities. If youre gonna be throwing 1/2 cranks often I would get a different rod

I wouldnt doubt this...that Super Steed looks like a fun rod

Its really a great rod. Paired with a steez ct sv in 6.3:1 its becoming one of my favorite combos

That white falcon I bought for some bigger cranks. Is it sufficient for smaller ones too?
I use mine for everything from 1/4-1 oz for more open water cranking along rip rap levy walls. I use other rods with stiffer backbone with traps over and through grass. The white falcon is a special rod with a tip like no other rod I've fished. i can machine-gun cast all day with little fatigue, but when you get bit it wears the hell out of the fish. You will see when you get yours.

They are probably very different rods, if youre fishing anything above 8lb line the super steed isn't the right choice, likewise if youre using 1/2 oz baits the super cougar is probably a much better choice
