rjasso Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 Hello everyone. I’m a bank fisherman and typically like to travel light. I like to stick to one rod that I can use for multiple presentations but one rod that I had a question on was a medium power moderate action spinning rod. I want to be able to present a weighted Texas rig and a wacky rig if needing to really finesse down. My question is with this type of rod, would I really have trouble setting the hook? Or would I be able to get by? 1 Quote
Super User ATA Posted April 2, 2022 Super User Posted April 2, 2022 depends on your hook size and diameter of your hook, If thin wire you can do it, But remember the fish can straighten the hook if fight and you'll loose fish. Quote
Super User BrianMDTX Posted April 2, 2022 Super User Posted April 2, 2022 I use a MF for wacky rigs and also for weightless Texas rigs with Zoom Tricks, etc. 1 Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted April 2, 2022 Super User Posted April 2, 2022 MF is fine. Give us a pricing point and you will get some specific suggestions. Quote
rjasso Posted April 3, 2022 Author Posted April 3, 2022 Well I actually do have a mf spinning rod and couple of baitcaster for some heavier presentations but I like the feel of the mm spinning rod. Just have never used it for Texas rigging as I didn’t know if I would have trouble setting the hook. Quote
Deephaven Posted April 3, 2022 Posted April 3, 2022 A MM sounds awful to me for everything but small crankbaits. My least favorite action and would abhor it in spinning. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted April 3, 2022 Super User Posted April 3, 2022 A medium moderate wouldn't be my choice for those techniques. There would be way too many things to fight with a rod like that unless you are using small light weight crankbaits. A medium fast would be a better choice. Quote
