Double checked and I was wrong, the Lami SR705R is still available.

I agree with Marc on this one, although I think graphite has its place for cranking (ripping through weedbeds primarily). My two favorite cranking rods are the Lamiglas SR705R which is discontinued I think, and a St. Croix GC70M 10-17lb line, 1/4-3/4 oz. which is also discontinued. The first one is great for cranks heavier than 1/2 oz, like deep little N's and DD22s, while the latter is best with 1/2oz cranks, primarily traps. You can get the Lami used, or just the blank from Mud Hole, and ST Croix looks to have some equivalent rods, like the 7' MH Glass rod from the premier series. The factors that make these rods great: light since they're fiberglass, soft action to keep fish pinned and increase hookups, and can cast a mile. I do not think all of these things can be matched in a graphite rod.
