McClelland talking about the Crawler.  He hints at some new colors.

Couple of the biggest things he said were the casting ability of the bait.  It almost flies like a jig.  I was throwing it in the wind yesterday and I mean straight against the wind and I don't think that I had to pull line off the reel  a single time.  It throws like a dart.

Mike and I had discussed the depth of the RK and he said thru video evidence that the bait will get to 13' on 10 pound line.  I'm saying it for sure is a good 10' and under bait, where the wart when casted will at times sail and will also spin when throwing into the wind and can get you a pretty good boo-boo to unsnarl.  It also is probably a 6' to 7' bait.  I know a lot of guys that used to fish the wart on as little as 6 pound line early and late in the season to get it down.  The RK will get down deeper than the wart, no question.

He also mentioned Falcon's CC-4-17 Cranker   This is a split grip micro guide 7' casting rod that is a Medium with 12 guides 8 to 12 pound line test and up to 1/2oz. lure weight.

This is perhaps my favorite rod.  I use it for 3/8th and under spinnerbaits, redfins and other wake baits, square bills and traps along with the crawler and any of the medium depth cranks.  It is the only casting rod I use on the wobblehead or the Bifflebug  and is also my favorite for the flutter spoon up to 3/4 oz.

If I had to pick only one casting rod, this would be it.  Thankfully I don't have to.

That is a good video, thanks for posting it, I have the Falcon jerkbait rod & bought the Micro bmc-7m for throwing small square bills, I really like how the rod handles while throwing the smaller size crankbaits, the latter falcon, the ccm-17 m is next on my list, I hope to get that by spring, they are a bit expensive but with a little care one should get many years of use.
