Work Shallow Crankbaits and Treble-Hook Baits with Control
When you're covering shallow water with moving baits, the rod needs to cast the presentation, work it cleanly, and stay loaded when a bass connects. The Fish Xtreme XCCB70MMF 7' Medium Mod-Fast Cranking Rod is built for that role, with Fish Xtreme specifically recommending it for squarebills, small crankbaits, jerkbaits, rattle traps, and topwater presentations.
A Cranking Setup Built Around Lighter Moving Baits
- ✅ Medium power and mod-fast action match the rod's intended role with crankbaits and other treble-hook presentations
- ✅ Designed for 1.5 and 2.5 squarebills and small crankbaits that run from shallow water down to about 10 feet
- ✅ Manufacturer-recommended applications also include jerkbaits, 1/4 oz rattle traps, and Popper R-style topwaters
- ✅ Mixed-modulus graphite blank uses Japanese Toray fabrics and Fish Xtreme's Nano Tube design
- ✅ Tangle-free K-frame guides support clean line travel through repeated casts with moving baits
- ✅ Cork grip and low-profile palming reel seat create a conventional casting-rod layout for working reaction baits

Real-World Performance
Put this rod to work covering banks, riprap, wood, and other shallow targets with squarebills, then keep it on deck when the bite shifts to a jerkbait, small lipless crankbait, or topwater. Its manufacturer-listed lure range keeps the focus on lighter moving baits, while the mod-fast cranking action provides a more progressive bend than a typical fast-action casting rod.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Fish Xtreme XCCB70MMF
What crankbaits is the XCCB70MMF designed to fish?
Fish Xtreme specifically recommends 1.5 and 2.5 squarebills and small crankbaits running from 1 to 10 feet. Its published lure range is 3/16 to 5/8 oz.
Can I use the XCCB70MMF for more than crankbaits?
Yes. Fish Xtreme also lists jerkbaits, 1/4 oz rattle traps, and Popper R-style topwaters among the rod's intended bass-lure applications.
Why use a mod-fast action for these moving baits?
A mod-fast cranking action loads more progressively than a typical fast-action rod, a useful characteristic for moving baits equipped with treble hooks. It also matches Fish Xtreme's intended cranking role for this model.
Is this the Fish Xtreme rod for larger or deeper crankbaits?
This model is specifically listed for small crankbaits and divers running from 1 to 10 feet, with a maximum published lure rating of 5/8 oz. Heavier or deeper-diving presentations should be matched to a rod rated for those lure weights and applications.
