I guess my main worry is trying to reel in a fish, and ending up breaking the rod. But to my understanding from what you guys have said, is that I can use it for anything (bass, sunfish, crappie, small, large, blue gill, trout) with being inbetween the correct guide lines of the ML rod (light line, small hooks, smallish lures) ? What are some things not to do with a ML rod?

Spinning

New to fishing, and I had a question. What purpose does a medium light rod have (Spinning). Is this a crappie/ blue gill type of rod OR more of a Bass/ trout rod? Meaning, what kind of weight or fishing is recommend. Also what would be some good types of lures/ plastics to go along with a medium light rod. Finally, Just general information on rods types and meanings would be super helpful. Thanks in advance.
