ML vs. M finesse spinning rod

[Mobasser]

Ive been using a medium fenwick with 6- 8lb for all finesse fishing. I'm going for a medium light next. I think for lighter cover, its the way to go. Farther casting distance, and a slight tip flex would help cushion 6lb line

I have almost found "the one" for Ned Rigs, an inexpensive custom on a CS722-MHX blank, but in my inexperience I had the builder put a really minimalist reel seat on it when I now think I would prefer a fatter cork one.  The power and taper are almost perfect, but the tip could be just a bit softer.  

 

I prefer lighter and shorter spinning rods due to a dislike of large/heavy spinning reels. 

Some of the new guide train layout's use much smaller and lighter guides.  The avid x spinning is a good example.  I use 2000 daiwa reels on all my spinning rods and do just fine.  I am not racing like some people who need a 3000 high gear for speed purposes.  I have a 72ml mhx rod that I have yet to try for ds.  I had it doNE for trout and panfish.  Should give it a shot I think.

Its not for racing, line handles much better on larger spools.
