Super User NorthernBasser Posted February 25 Super User Posted February 25 If that 7' MH/F feels more like a MH/MF, then you could throw cranks/lipless cranks on it. And I'd stay closer to the 15# fluoro than the 20#. 1 Quote

And I'd stay closer to the 15# fluoro than the 20#. The MH Aird X's are odd, its almost like a hybrid between MF and F. Your suggestion is spot on, they make phenomenal lipless rods. My 7'3" found a permanent spot for just that. But for OP heres some of my thoughts on additional uses for your combos #1 will also do good with football jigs, chatterbaits, and paddle tail swimbaits in weeds/grass. #2 flipping/punching lighter baits into vegetation. #3 would make a great setup for fishing Strike King Hybrid Hunters too, along with toads #4 Lipless, squarebills, heavier topwaters like whopper ploppers, big walking baits, smaller wake baits and under an ounce total soft swimbaits. #5 also would work for tube jigs, ned rigs, again paddle tail swimbaits. #6 you could also fish weightless Texas rigs on this, along with weightless flukes.

Super User MN Fisher Posted February 25 Super User Posted February 25 Yep - I personally rate the MH/F as more of a MF-F...not quite a true MF, but slower than an F. Which is why my 7'0" Aird-X MH/F is my spinner/chatter rod. 1 Quote
