Finally got to test it out today. It did great with senkos, craws, small keitechs, and other similar things. It's definitely more on the medium side as opposed to heavy, though. I put on a 3/4oz spinnerbait and that thing had the rod flexing pretty heavily.

Thanks for all the info. I'll do the bend test when I get home. I currently fish from the bank and from a kayak. As for bodies of water I try and hit up everything. Im pretty centrally located in California's central valley so I have a good number of lakes and rivers to choose from.

Hi all. New member here and relatively new fisherman. I started fishing back in September so I'm still getting the hang of things. Anyway, I bought a new rod the other day because I got a good deal on it. It's a 7'8 MH Phenix M1. The thing is, I bought first and thought later so Im not sure what it would be ideal for. I have a 7'6 heavy that I use for larger keitech style swimbaits and heavier lures. Then I have a couple 7/7'1 MH rods I use for spinnerbaits, smaller lures, and senkos. I'm just not sure what would make the most of the added length on this MH rod. I was thinking of just using it as my Texas/Wacky rig rod primarily, but thought maybe some more experienced bass anglers could give me some useful suggestions and info. Thanks all.
