I have a lews medium moderate composite crank rod and for shallow water cranking its the best rod you can have. I used to miss some with my graphite rods since getting this rod I haven't missed a single fish. Composite rods are heavier than graphite but after awhile you won't even notice the extra weight and it's really not much weight. Thanks for the video. Having specialized rods for certain technics really does make a difference.
They look like some sweet combos! Might have to look at one. And im becoming more a fan of the moderate action with moving baits. I got a new more moderate rod this year and i have not lost 1 Chatterbait fish this season
I’m a huge fan of 13 rods. Even the Defy series rods are amazing especially for $60! I have around 10 or so 13 rods and I rarely fish my “high end” rods anymore! My 13’s do the job perfectly! Also, I have a couple of 13 Concept A reels that are still going strong after 8-10 years! I’ve been fishing 13 gear through their growing pains and not sure if I’d ever stray from the company 🎣
Always enjoy and learn from your videos. As a bank angler, and eventually Yak - space and gear is a premium. I am always interested to see what your versatile rod selections would be. Thank you TJ81!
Ever since I first saw the Meta rods online I've been thinking about getting the 7 Glass rod for small cranks and squarebills but I wasn't sure if it would work for what I needed. But after watching this video it looks perfect for my needs. Thanks
Glad your happy about it. Nice rod review at least you didn’t get the big W. I only have one rod dedicated for crank baits. It’s a 7’M composite it’s pretty light depends on the brand.
I want a reel rino li ed. Those glossy reels are slick as wen fishing in the rain which is often. Wish someone would , diawa, make a reel series with a tacky paint job. By tacky i mean sticky not shoddy.
love the 13 rods, 7'4 defy cranking is a favorite. use it for alot, cranking chatter/spinnerbaits gets the job done 🔥🎣
I’m with you ! Those Defy Cranking sticks are killer !!
Right on! 👊
Drag sound as notifications tone on your phone 😂 … that’s awesome 👊👊

I agree, Jim. Matte finish would be the deal. Very smooth reel though ,and I like how the cast control dial is hidden in the side plate.
Right on brother! 👊
Thanks for the breakdown on set ups! I'm thinking about a glass rod, and this helped.
Right on! 👊

I could make that video in the near future. Appreciate you buddy! 👊
Just ordered a 7’ Meta glass rod! Will be pairing it up with Shimano MGL150 6.2.1, can’t wait to get it in the mail!!
Right on! 👊
I have 8 13fishing concept C paired with veritas rods! I love these reals! They are all different speeds and length/power sets!
👊💪
Way to hook em, great review of the G 13 line up...
Appreciate you! 👊

Good video Jim, nice review. I'm definitely enjoying the Bomber square A, and the 4A. Thanks for the tips
Right on buddy! 👊
I love glass for cranks, and catterbaits. The only exception for a kon glass crnakbait rod I have is an IMX Pro but I mean that's a whole other animal
Right on! 👊
Nice review Jim, I like the gloss finish the matte black has been overdone in my opinion , but to each his own . Thanks for the review !
Appreciate you! 👊
