Way better camera and eyes than I have!

Any of you have the 7’3 medium fast casting model? I’m wondering if it would make a good weightless senko/fluke etc rod. And maybe once in a while a 3/16-1/4oz t rigged trick worm.

Not sure about eyes. Tying knots is my nemesis nowadays!

If open water you could get away with a medium.  Normally for all my senko rod med heavy ideal.  But if you are gonna be Texas rig with 1/4 I'd go MH all the way.  In the 7'3 or 7'5.  Use to fish long rods like a 7'5 in the loomis line but I eventually going back to shorter rods in the 7 to 7'3.  Better balance overall and more nimble for easy twitches easier to fish with all day
