I made a previous post about whether I should get a 7' MM or 7' MF casting rod next and I had pretty much settled on the MF but there is a 6'10" MHF casting rod that I really like but idk if it would make any sense to buy it considering I have a rod very similar to it. My current lineup is a 7' MHF casting rod, a 7'6" MHXF casting rod and a 6'10" MXF spinning rod.

Well I do not remember your other post. So lets start with these questions.  First what type of water do you fish. Are you fishing from a boat or shore? Next are you fishing dirty tidal waters, deep clear lakes, heavy vegetation, fast moving clear shallow rivers. shallow ponds and small lakes?  All of these present different needs.

Now let's go over your rods. Since we do not know the brands nor full rod specs lets ask it this way.

You have a 7 foot MHF action baitcaster. Is this a good rod for bottom bouncing baits like jigs, texas rigs and carolina rigs. Does this rod spec for lures that rate 1/4 to 3/4 or  1/4 to 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 ounce lures. 

You have a 7'6" MHXF  does this rod handle frogs, flipping and pitching?  I am assuming it does. 

 

If the first rod handles bottom bouncing baits well, than I would seriously consider adding a rod like a Falcon Bucoo micro 7 foot Trap Caster rod. It is listed as a MH MF.  It has a really nice tip that transitions to a beefy mid section. Falcon suggests using this rod to throw traps, cranks, spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. It is soft enough to keep trebles hooked up, but has plenty enough power to throw a big crank a mile and have it dig down deep.  This would sorta bridge the gap of what I think you are missing. I would match it up with a 6.3-1 reel.  Here are some other examples of rods that could work.  Check out a Dobyns Fury FR 705CB. Next look at an Irod either the IRG 703CC or the IRG 733C. Lastly look at a St Croix Avid X 7 foot medium moderate. These rods are designed to handle reaction style baits.
