Bad to da Bass Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 What fishing technique could I use a 6' medium action spinning rod for? Thanks for the help. Quote
LAO162 Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Bank fishing around brush & weeds. This year I'll be using one 6'3" MXF and one 6'0" MHF for that purpose It would probably be good for vertical & finesse situations as well. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted January 26, 2009 Super User Posted January 26, 2009 Not all medium action rods are the same. I have some that will handle a 4" tube with a 1/4 oz jig insert. I also have some that would need a 2 1/2" tube with 1/8 oz or less. Experience with the setup will tell you what works best for you. Quote
Super User Marty Posted January 27, 2009 Super User Posted January 27, 2009 Medium power is a good general-purpose rod and I've used them for years for a variety of things from soft plastics to crankbaiting, although I've always preferred something a little longer, like 6'6". About the only thing I didn't use it with was extremely heavy vegetation. Quote
The_Natural Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 My first 'real' bass rod was a 6' medium power, fast action Berkley Lightning rod (spinning). I used it for everything. Worms, grubs, topwaters, crankbaits, rattletraps....you name it. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 27, 2009 Super User Posted January 27, 2009 I have a 6' Medium power, fast action St Croix Avid spinning rod that I use to skip weightless and/or lightly weighted soft plastics under docks, undercut banks, and over hanging trees. I prefer to use this rod when I am fishing way back in the creeks as well, longer rods can be a nusiance in tight spots. I also use it for pinpoint casting small finesse shallow crankbaits. Quote
