HELP

So I purchased a really good Medium heavy moderate action rod. I got it for a steal and I had a couple questions. Can this Rod be used for flipping and pitching or frogging. I know that usually you want an extra fast rip for flipping cover but I wanted to know if this could work

So I picked up the 7ft medium heavy halo Twilite Rod. There's no specs on it and I wanted to get people's options on what taper you think it is or any input.

I just wanted input on these two rods. I'm looking for an all around bass rod and wanted to see if anybody has both of these and could give me some info.

What's the hot bait there for bass right now? I might check it out

Everybody comment their favorite bass bait to throw and what season.

Somebody just needs to answer Yes/No can I use my 8:1 tat for deep cranking and shallow cranking

I don't do much deep cranking. I guess my main question is can I use my 8:1 Tatula Type R for medium and shallow cranking? Can I slow down my retrieve for shallow and medium divers and still get the same result as a 5:3 reel?

For deeper diving cranks can't you just turn your handle slower to not have the crank go to its side? Or am I wrong

Thanks so much guys

Thanks man but I'm not really understanding why it's harder to "pull" for bigger billed cranks I'm still kinda lost . But for shallow divers like KVD 1.5-2.5 I can just slow down my retrieve right and still get the same results?

I bought an 8:1 tatula type r baitcaster because i figured it was versitile and that I could use it for anything. I figured I could slow my reel retrieve in for crank baits etc. Doesn't that work?
