  1. JohnFromLisbon's post in Extra Fast Tip - Doofus on Board was marked as the answer   
    First thing you need to know is there isn't an industry standard for blank action (or even power for that matter). One brand's fast might be another brand's moderate. I've only handled a couple of St. Croix rods but all of them felt "softer" (i.e. slower or more moderate) than the comparable Loomis rod, for example.
     
    A St. Croix extra fast might still be okay for moving baits for example. A 6'10 medium extra-fast would be my close quarters Senko rod, for example. Finesse jigs, too. But from the sound of it you can pull off jerkbaits (altough you might want not to rip them as hard as you would on straight fluoro), poppers, smaller walking baits, and even make due for squarebills. 

    As for the leader just consider if you're throwing a bottom bait or something moving. Surface baits will benefit from a thicker mono leader, partly because it floats, but mostly because it'll keep your braid from tangling in the treble hooks.
