Multi-species crank powerfishing

Cranking often gets a bad press. People find it unpleasant because, while the crank stirs underwater, it also hits the rod quite hard. Tendonitis is common, turning anglers away from this technique. And it's precisely because others shy away from it that you should go for it! To help you crank without fatigue or tendonitis, we've selected 3 blanks in different price ranges, designed specifically for this type of fishing. Contrary to popular belief that 'to crank a lure you need a noodle and that's no fun', there are blanks that let the lure live and dampen vibrations thanks to a highly flexible tip, while remaining 'true' blanks, with good action and reserve in the heel.

1. Visit REVCB 70 MH from Rainshadow. This blank has a fairly classic design, with a moderate action that goes very well with cranking and has the big advantage of being very affordable for those with more limited means and/or for whom cranking is a more occasional activity. It will cast cranks up to 30 grams and dive to 4-5 metres.
2. The Zentron CB 705 in the NFC Delta series. This series of blanks mixes carbon fiber in the heel, for the power reserve, and new-generation fiberglass in the tip, giving a very interesting flex. The behavior is a little different, but the result is the same. The lure is free to swim as it pleases and the angler keeps a playful blank, very pleasant to use, which won't hammer his elbow or shoulder. You'll be able to cast slightly larger lures, up to ten centimetres for 35 grams, and dive deeper, up to 6m.
3. VisitCB-704-IM from NFC. A magnificent blank that will make you (re)discover cranking and forget everything you've heard or done before. An all-carbon blank, with a highly original design (a very fine, long tip) which then passes into a true heel that will give both a very pleasant live action and a surprising reserve of power. It will cast all cranks up to 6-7cm (approx. 20 grams) and dive up to 4 metres.
