BrianSnat Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 I use my Med light rod for tossins spinners, spoons, poppers, floating Rapalas and smaller jigs Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted April 24, 2012 Super User Posted April 24, 2012 I use my 7' ML/Fast Avid spinning rod almost exclusivly for drop shotting. I tend to use my M powered spinning rods for everything else. Quote
Super User S Hovanec Posted April 24, 2012 Super User Posted April 24, 2012 I use ML/XF rods for dropshotting. I'd use that one for sliders, small tubes and jerkbaits too light to throw with a baitcaster. Quote
craww Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 In addition to the above mentioned techs. Hair jigs, small cranks like the rebel craws and crickhopper, finesse texas rigs, drowning a nightcrawler under a bobber, etc. 1 Quote
Stasher1 Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 I like a ML/XF for weightless/floating worms, inline spinners, dropshot, small finesse plastics. 1 Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted April 24, 2012 Super User Posted April 24, 2012 I'll use a light action action rod for jerkbaits sometimes just for the fun of hooking up big smallies on ligher tackle in open water. It's a gas. Quote
outdoorsman110 Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 I'll use a light action action rod for jerkbaits sometimes just for the fun of hooking up big smallies on ligher tackle in open water. It's a gas. x2 but with LMB 1 Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted April 24, 2012 Super User Posted April 24, 2012 I have two ML spinning, and four ML BC rods. I use them when the weight of the bait is light enough to warrant that power and where I think I can still get a good enough hookset. And, as Dwight said, I will use MLs (and L and UL) to increase the "fight" of the fish... Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted April 24, 2012 Super User Posted April 24, 2012 I don't like a L or ML for texas rigging, not enough power to set the hook or pulling a decent fish thru some heavy slop. I do like them for open water fishing using any kind of a lure with exposed hooks and braid. I did have a 1# and a 4# on the same rattle rap the other day on ml clarus spinning, 2 on 1 lure with that rod was a trip. Quote
telmomarques Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 i use ml for shaky head, dropshotting, darters and spilt shot rig with 7 lbs sunline sniper flurocarbon or 14 lbs stren braid 1 Quote
Bass Junkie Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Topwater fishing, finesse, it would be a nice smallmouth rod, and it would toss Pointer 78's well. Quote
Globadoc Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 I picked up a field and stream tech spec.rod a dicks on clearance for $30 bucks a 6-10 med light/fast tip. Dear Fishing Gods, please let my local Dick's put the Tec-Spec rods on clearance. And by the way, make it a day when I have disposable cash on hand. Thanks in advance! Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 25, 2012 Global Moderator Posted April 25, 2012 I have a Rage rod with the same ratings as the one you bought. I use mine for wacky rigs, grubs, light cranks and jerks, floating worms, and a ned rig. Just caught a good one on it today on the ned rig with half a zinker on a 1/16oz jighead, fun fight for sure.

I received a coupon in the mail for buy one, get one 1/2 price on Tec-Spec rods, so I may have to go get a couple of them. But in looking at the current lineup, there is no 6-10 ML. There is a 6-10 M/F Spinning designed for drop shop/shaky heads and a 6-10 MH/XF casting designed for soft swimbaits. You may want to recheck those technical specs (bad pun intended). Edit: looks like the shaky head dropshot rod is a medium light, although it is listed on the tag as medium. My mistake and apologies. Quote
