The most suitable material to use crankbaits is the baitcasting, except for the lightest models that can be used in spinning. The reason is simple: as it only takes to launch and bring more or less regularly these lures without animating them with the rod, and the sensitivity is not a fundamental parameter either, casting equipment lends its characteristics that game. In addition, it is necessary to have a robust tackle able to endure many throws and the resistance offered by the lip of the crankbaits then aim your choice for a casting reel with quite low ratio from 5.0: 1 to 6.4: 1.
