Pros
Cheap
Casts a mile
Gets the deep crank job done.

Cons
Heavy
A little slow for my tastes

Don't let the tip heaviness bother you too much, with a 9-10 ounce reel its not bad, and it helps offset the pull of a deep crankbait.
Set hard and set often

I fish it with a CTE250 DC and love it. Just a really nice rod for crankbaits that loads up nicely. I also feel that it is not tip heavy compared to the other LT bass rods - even if using a Premier on it.

Price good, warranty good.. SK real seet is good for this application.
