I am looking for a rod that will cover cranking shallow like square bills, as well as down to about 10 foot. I have been told that medium moderate will do the job, but I have also seen people use medium heavy fast or medium heavy moderate. I thought a MH moderate would be more for deep diving, which I really do not do because I fish from the bank. and MH fast is a jig/ Texas rig rod to me. So I am just looking for some opinions and just information in general, because I am new to the cranking thing. I am however very excited! Thank you very much.
