Millerods Crankfreak ULS 742

Looking for a purpose-designed ultra-light cranking rod? The Millerods CrankFreak ULS delivers true technique-specific performance, bringing one of Ian Miller’s custom designs into a production rod built for serious anglers.

Designed for small bibbed hardbody lures, the CrankFreak ULS offers the ideal length, action and power for long casts and precise line control over shallow flats. It performs best with straight-through fluorocarbon, but also handles braid with a monofilament leader when required.

The one-piece blade features a smooth, easy-loading action with a soft, responsive tip that provides excellent feedback and allows fish to load the rod naturally for secure hook-ups. A forgiving mid-section absorbs sudden movements, protecting delicate treble hook holds.

This action also makes the rod ideal for low-drag surface lures such as small pencil topwaters. Exceptional balance ensures effortless tip-up retrieves and enhanced sensitivity during long sessions.

Finished with a Fuji KR guide train featuring titanium frames and SlimRing SiC guides, and paired with Ian’s Control Freak handle, the CrankFreak ULS delivers lightweight performance, comfort and reliability.
