I'd lean toward MH mod for the deep cranking Rod and Hvy or XH for the A rig Rod . Models are hard to speak to dye the subjective nature of ratings and labels.

thanks i will have to see what fenwick offers,,, how about the other 2?

Other two are close enough. If you want to get really technique specific I like anXF but soft tip for jerkbaits and top water as well as small weightless plastics.

I would get a med heavy moderate for deep cranking.

I have the HMG 7'2" M-MF casting, I like it for square bills down to DT-10s, for those it is an awesome rod but any deeper the resistance begins to get into the backbone of the rod so no deep cranking. For the Alabama rig I'd look at getting the Elite Tech Bass 7'9" XH-F unless you intend to use a small A-rig. DVT, the 7'2" M-MF HMG is a strange rod, it is a medium but it is rated 3/8oz to 1oz and it is why I use it for square bills and such, it is a mod fast action and becasuse it gets into the backbone quickly with that length, it gives it the handling capacity of a medium heavy rod while having the forgiveness of a medium power rod. I can rip traps off of grass with it and bang square bills through light brush and over chunk rock and rip rap with it no problem yet it is soft enough for wiggle warts and DT-10 type cranks and I'm comfortable fishing baits that dive to 12' or so with it, a DT-14 is where you begin to feel you used up all the tip.

I have that exact same HMG 7'2" medium moderate and it is certainly not a deep cranking rod. It's more for squarebills, lipless cranks, and DT4/6's at the most. 

 

Get a MH moderate for deeper cranks.

I have simplified my rods to medium heavy fast tip for plastics, jigs and frogs and medium fast tips for spinnerbaits and  cranks and a moderate tip for top waters.
