So, What is a good, multi-purpose, all-around rod/line combo?

Thanks everybody for the advice. I like to have rods that are good for multi-purpose fishing. I like to use different baits and different techniques when i go fishing. I usually like to use crank baits, but i also like to use jigs, worms, creatures, spinnerbaits and topwater baits. I guess the reason I put this question on a forum was because in all the research i've done, i can't really find a clear-cut "formula" if you will, about the rod/line/bait combinations. I guess it really comes down to a matter of preference and opinion.

I'm going to be buying another fishing rod soon. I was thinking of getting a 7' medium-heavy spinning rod. I primarily fish crankbaits and jerkbaits and I like to use braided line, but someone told me that since the braid has no stretch, the bait would just rip right out of the fish's lip. Is this true?
