Thank you for that PennBass. Also someone here suggested Mono line. Doesn't Mono have too much of a memory and is too stretchy so it will likely give you those twirls when it comes off the reel therefore leaving a lot of line between you and the lure. Wouldn't Fluoro be a better line for an all purpose rod, due to its non stretch and less memory, even if it sinks instead of floating like the Mono? Going back to the M vs the M/H wouldn't it be better for a starting all purpose rod to be medium this way as you try on the different techniques and applications you can than decide if a certain technique would benefit from a heavier rod or even a lighter rod? Just throwing it out there

Ok so I'm going to listen to you guys otherwise why post the topic. So this is what I have in mind http://www.basspro.com/St-Croix-Mojo-Bass-Casting-Rod/product/2244807/ , M/H Fast 6,8 ft with this reel http://www.basspro.com/Abu-Garcia-Revo-SX-Baitcast-Reel/product/1207130446073/ , 6.4:1. Thoughts? Although I'm reading that this specific M/H rod from Mojo Bass acts more like a Heavy I am thinking of maybe getting the medium?

Do you agree with the all purpose being between 6.7 to 7ft medium with fast action with a 6.4:1 reel? Or maybe a medium heavy would be more in the middle

Hi guys, I'm having a small dilemma. I'm about to purchase my first baitcasting rod and reel. Here are my two options that I have narrowed down to: 1. Medium rod with moderate tip and 5.1:1 reel, which from my understanding would be good for crank baits and some top water. 2. Medium rod with fast tip and 6.4:1 reel which would be a better all purpose rod for most techniques out there. So my question is since I will probably end up with a crankbait rod anyways should I just buy option number 1 or becuase since this is my first and only baitcaster for now should I go with option 2. I'm interested in what you guys think. thanks
