Medium Heavy Moderate vs Medium Heavy Moderate Fast

[lunkerboss923]

Is it safe to say MHM = MHMF? I use a MHMF for Spinnerbaits, Chatterbaits, Swim Jigs, Finesse Jigs, Squarebills, and Lipless crankbaits. 

 

I haven't found a single rod company  other Falcon who has MHMF, everybody else MHM. 

 

What can you tell me about this?

Not quite - MH/MF is a little faster in the tip than MH/M - think of it as between MH/F and MH/M

 

I use MH/F for spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, jigs.

MH/MF for cranks, squarebills and lipless.

My Dobyns Fury 705CB is MH/MF - I'm sure there are other rods out there with the same power/action.

   Sr. Croix, in the Mojo Bass and the Legend Tournament Bass. 7", MH/MF.   They call it a spinnerbait rod, but I use it for lots of other stuff.          jj

Speaking of St. Croix...these top secret rods coming out next month are exciting me!!! I wonder what they color they are. hmmm...

That there is no standard or consistency, so the labeling is a broad guideline at best. I'd bet that you can find a rod labeled MH Fast that actually fishes slower than the Falcon you mentioned above.

My Tatula glass rods are listed as MH/R, but they are basically MH/MF rods. The MH/MF rods have a stiffer tip and you can get away with fishing a spinnerbait or chatterbait on them, where I wouldn't think about that on a MH/M rod but MH/M would be preferred for cranking. Of course, this is largely depending on the manufacturer, if they only make a MH/M it may be what others would call a MH/MF or vice versa as well.
