Is there much use for a Medium/Moderate CB rod for Bass?

[Puggz]

I'm currently deciding on whether to get a Medium Power, Moderate action casting rod or another MH, Moderate.

I already have a Gen 1 Mojo bass crankbait rod (MH/Moderate) with at Tatula 100 so I'm thinking something for smaller cranks, spinnerbaits, etc.

Med/mod rods throw balsa cranks nicely.

[Jrob78]

I use a MM for throwing small, light crankbaits.

Keeps the fish on.  Stiffer, faster rods can rip out small trebles.

Thats what i use for all cranks except deep divers. It keeps weight of lures in middle or so of rod rating instead of on lower end or possibly below rod rating of a MH.

Exactly

You might be able to pair your reel with a Daiwa Tatula rod. You want the regular tip not the fast tip. I'm not exactly sure how regular compares to moderate.

[Fishin' Fool]

The Tatula regular appears to be moderate fast.

If this is the regular Tatula and not the Tatula X here is a great deal for you.

Thanks every1, sounds like just the ticket!  I have a lot of success with scatter raps and smaller squarebills (for smallies) in the summer.

10lb Tatsu?

Believe it or not I'd give #10 yozuri hybrid a shot . It might surprise you

I have both a M/M and a MH/M that I use for cranks.  I throw all my squarebills and some medium divers on the M/M and anything else on the MH/M (or if I'm fishing crazy cover, also one of my lipless rods).

While I do throw FC on my M/M I use sniper, but there is no need for Tatsu money, IMO.  Also, hybrid or mono is great too (Sunline Defier Armilo) for cranking applications.

I have a spool of 10# tatsu that I won at a seminar.  I figured this would be a good place for it..lol

Take a look at the St. Croix Premier Series. Glass Blend crankbait rods. I love mine 6'6". I had mine a few years and want another. I want to compare it to the New Mojo Med Cranker first. I can't buy a rod sight unseen or without touching it first. Thinking about  the 7' Med. Mod. Throwing 1/4 - 3/8 oz. Rapalas for the most part with it.

For smaller cranks like a Shad Rap 7, I used to own a Kistler Magnesium TS Crankbait and the blank behaved superbly with the smaller offerings, too bad I hated the beefy handle and the reel seat, if you don´t like everything in a rod why keep it ? so I sold it.

[thebillsman]

That's a great rod. M/MF is ideal for squarebills and smaller jerkbaits

[ww2farmer]

No use for them here. I throw everything on a MH rod..........from KVD 1.5's up to SK 5xd's.................Oh, and I crank with braid too. It's a wonder I have ever caught a bass.

[strikefc34]

Perfect action for jerkbaits, poppers and squarebills.

Thanks to all the enablers on this thread!!!  I'm now the proud owner of a 7'1", Medium/Moderate Fast made by a company you can't name here.  Also grabbed a Ci4 6.2:1 to go with it.  Wanted an Alde 6.5:1 but the ridiculousness has to stop sometime!!

As bass season in Ontario doesn't start until the 4th saturday in June, I have this and 2 other new combo's to look at... It may be a long spring..
