What Do You Use Your Medium Baitcasting Rod For?

[Diggy]

For those that use them

[Hi Salenity]

Soft plastic's or lipless cranks depending on the rod.

[jkarol24]

You can fish most of the lures in your tacklebox on a medium action baitcast rod. The only things i WOULD'NT throw on it are:

Small/light plastics

Techniques using small hooks (drop shot comes to mind)

Heavy cover flipping

[Bass_Fanatic]

Jerkbaits, wacky worms, top water plugs just to name a few

[flippin and pitchin]

Jerkbaits, small topwaters and small squarebills.

Jerkbaits, small topwaters and small squarebills.

^pretty much!

[BassHunter954]

i use mine for topwater swimbaits and misc. flukes and worms medium brush..

[shackman]

1/8 oz and lighter T-Rigs

[BASSclary]

all my plastics under 1/2 ounce total.

I like the way a M fishes vs a MH

[ww2farmer]

Hard Jerkbaits, 1/2 oz lipless cranks, small to med. size square bills, like bandit 100's or SK KVD 1.5's, 3/16-1/4 spinnerbaits, top water, Small-mid size medium cranks, like bandit 200/300's,SK series 3's/3xd's, Spron Little John MD's etc...., soft jerkbaits, senkos, finesse jigs, t-rigging, drop shotting, C-rigging............and probably more, about the only I don't ue them for is Deep diving cranks, flipping, frogs, and big jigs/T-rigs/c-rigs around heavy cover.

[Ima Bass Ninja]

Anything with treble hooks

[tholmes]

Shallow to medium diving cranks, lipless cranks, jerkbaits, unweighted (or lightly weighted) plastics, and smaller topwaters.

[SausageFingers]

Primarily smaller swim jigs, crank baits, and wake baits for me

[BigGame0892]

Hard jerkbaits, small spinnerbaits, flukes, small topwaters and squarebills for the most part. As others have said, it can do a lot.

[LgMouthGambler]

Mine has my 50E on it with 12# Yozuri. Pretty much my light rigged plastics, or whatever I decide to tie to it. Just nothing for real heavy cover.

[Reel_Kaotic]

Anything with treble hooks

x2!

[piscicidal]

pointers, poppers, flukes, senkos, shakey head, small traps, sq bills.

[bigbassctchr101]

I have all my mediums stacked up in a corner. I thought I would like them, but ended up hating them for almost everything I used them for. If I throw anything with treble hooks I either use a MH with a slower tip (spooks,poppers, some lipless lures, and hard jerk baits, etc...) or a MH with a moderate blank. (shallow/mid cranks, most lipless baits). It is kinda neat to hear what everyone uses for certain applications though. For example, I throw flukes, senkos, trick worms all on a 7' MH-H rod with 15-20lb line. When downsizing my lures, I downsize rod length, line, and lure weight/profile, but I stick with the same action.

My medium fast casting rod has a 51e on it and is a dedicated shakey head and finesse jig rod. It is my favorite setup to throw.

[Diggy]

Which rod would you recc.that is a true medium power (100 and under). My vendetta feels more mh and I have a mh carbonlite already. Id like a different model rod for variety.

[TNBassin']

pointers, poppers, flukes, senkos, shakey head, small traps, sq bills.

This, although my medium vendetta is much stiffer than a normal medium. I can use that sucker for crank baits pretty effectively.

Falcon Original. Fenwick Elite Tech Smallmouth 6'10" M-F is $102.07 on Amazon right now, but I got mine for $81 from the same place...a $129 rod.

[Michael DiNardo]

Just about everything under 3/4 oz.

Heavy cover flipping

Im just curious why?

Same as my MH, just my smaller lures.I dont flip or fish heavy cover with it though. Spinnerbaits 1/4 & 3/8 oz. 1/4 & 3/8 swim jigs. light t rigged plastics. I dont throw any trebles over 1/2 oz so all of my cranks lipless or billed get tossed on my M as well. I actually like the feel of my M rod over all others BUT nothing beats flipping a 1/2 NSCB Jig n Rage plastic with my MH!

Not sure if Shimano interests you but the Clarus is a bit under 100$ and the 6'8" M/XF is a true M IMO. I just recently broke the tip off of mine (My fault, not the rods). I will definitely replace when i have the cash. Good luck!
