What Do You Use Your Medium Baitcasting Rod For? 2024
Diggy reply :
For those that use them
Hi Salenity reply :
Soft plastic's or lipless cranks depending on the rod.
jkarol24 reply :
You can fish most of the lures in your tacklebox on a medium action baitcast rod. The only things i WOULD'NT throw on it are:
Small/light plastics
Techniques using small hooks (drop shot comes to mind)
Heavy cover flipping
Bass_Fanatic reply :
Jerkbaits, wacky worms, top water plugs just to name a few
flippin and pitchin reply :
Jerkbaits, small topwaters and small squarebills.

I like the way a M fishes vs a MH
ww2farmer reply :
Hard Jerkbaits, 1/2 oz lipless cranks, small to med. size square bills, like bandit 100's or SK KVD 1.5's, 3/16-1/4 spinnerbaits, top water, Small-mid size medium cranks, like bandit 200/300's,SK series 3's/3xd's, Spron Little John MD's etc...., soft jerkbaits, senkos, finesse jigs, t-rigging, drop shotting, C-rigging............and probably more, about the only I don't ue them for is Deep diving cranks, flipping, frogs, and big jigs/T-rigs/c-rigs around heavy cover.
Ima Bass Ninja reply :
Anything with treble hooks
tholmes reply :
Shallow to medium diving cranks, lipless cranks, jerkbaits, unweighted (or lightly weighted) plastics, and smaller topwaters.

SausageFingers reply :
Primarily smaller swim jigs, crank baits, and wake baits for me
BigGame0892 reply :
Hard jerkbaits, small spinnerbaits, flukes, small topwaters and squarebills for the most part. As others have said, it can do a lot.
LgMouthGambler reply :
Mine has my 50E on it with 12# Yozuri. Pretty much my light rigged plastics, or whatever I decide to tie to it. Just nothing for real heavy cover.

x2!
piscicidal reply :
pointers, poppers, flukes, senkos, shakey head, small traps, sq bills.
bigbassctchr101 reply :
I have all my mediums stacked up in a corner. I thought I would like them, but ended up hating them for almost everything I used them for. If I throw anything with treble hooks I either use a MH with a slower tip (spooks,poppers, some lipless lures, and hard jerk baits, etc...) or a MH with a moderate blank. (shallow/mid cranks, most lipless baits). It is kinda neat to hear what everyone uses for certain applications though. For example, I throw flukes, senkos, trick worms all on a 7' MH-H rod with 15-20lb line. When downsizing my lures, I downsize rod length, line, and lure weight/profile, but I stick with the same action.
kLuo reply :
My medium fast casting rod has a 51e on it and is a dedicated shakey head and finesse jig rod. It is my favorite setup to throw.
Diggy reply :
Which rod would you recc.that is a true medium power (100 and under). My vendetta feels more mh and I have a mh carbonlite already. Id like a different model rod for variety.
TNBassin' reply :
This, although my medium vendetta is much stiffer than a normal medium. I can use that sucker for crank baits pretty effectively.On 4/25/2012 at 11:01 PM, piscicidal said:pointers, poppers, flukes, senkos, shakey head, small traps, sq bills.

Falcon Original. Fenwick Elite Tech Smallmouth 6'10" M-F is $102.07 on Amazon right now, but I got mine for $81 from the same place...a $129 rod.
Michael DiNardo reply :
Just about everything under 3/4 oz.

Same as my MH, just my smaller lures.I dont flip or fish heavy cover with it though. Spinnerbaits 1/4 & 3/8 oz. 1/4 & 3/8 swim jigs. light t rigged plastics. I dont throw any trebles over 1/2 oz so all of my cranks lipless or billed get tossed on my M as well. I actually like the feel of my M rod over all others BUT nothing beats flipping a 1/2 NSCB Jig n Rage plastic with my MH!
Jake P reply :
Not sure if Shimano interests you but the Clarus is a bit under 100$ and the 6'8" M/XF is a true M IMO. I just recently broke the tip off of mine (My fault, not the rods). I will definitely replace when i have the cash. Good luck!On 8/29/2012 at 9:43 PM, Diggy said:Which rod would you recc.that is a true medium power (100 and under).

I found a seller on eBay that has the Veritas series for 79.99 with free shipping. He ships them in a huge PVC pipe. One of the ones I bought was the 7' medium with micro guides. I couldn't have been happier. I think it's the best and most true medium I have ever had. I loved it so much I have bought 3 more from him. They also provide a true receipt if you wanted warranty work or the free hoodie.
To answer your question, I use my medium for mainly top water. Poppers, small jerk baits. Until I can afford another medium setup, I also use it for up to 5" swim baits with 1/8 hooks, larger senkos, larger jitterbugs.
I was using it for smaller jigs and Texas rigs but it just seemed to much for the tip. I moved up to a 7' MH fast tip and am very happy.

I love the veritas, I have a mh but it seems the power is under rated, it feels like a H and I assume M feels like a mh

Denali Jadewood spinnerbait rod. 6'6" MF, feels pretty accurate to me. Runs $90 I think
Diggy reply :
thanks, coincidentally I was looking at their rods on tw lastnight and the review on tackle tour. I see much talk about them on here, never used one in my life nor seen one in personOn 8/30/2012 at 10:50 PM, Flywatersmallie said:Denali Jadewood spinnerbait rod. 6'6" MF, feels pretty accurate to me.

I had to move up to a Heavy for my 1/2oz jigs. The MH was just about right but I wanted something more stout to through 1oz if I needed to.
Hooligan reply :
Plastics, Cranks, Squarebills, Lipless, Weightless plastics, Jigs, Spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, dropshot, shakey head, poppers, props, Texas Rigs, Mojo Rigs, Light C-Rigs, Small swimbaits, minnow baits, twitch baits... Pretty much everything.
