Thank you all for the feedback this far. I'm a bank fisherman, so a three rod setup is the eventual goal (MHF baitcaster, Medium baitcaster, Med or ML spinning). I'm just trying to decide what baitcaster setup to get first. On a budget, too, so nothing too expensive. Just good enough to learn on and have fun.

Hello Everyone, I recently purchased my first baitcasting reel, and I am now thinking about what power rod with which to pair it. Right now, being that we are in winter/prespawn, I am throwing a lot of crankbaits (lipless, shallow diving), spinnerbaits and Chatterbaits on either a medium or medium heavy spinning rod. I feel like I could put a medium fast action rod to use right away throwing these moving baits, whereas I may have to wait a while for the bass to move shallow before having to throw jigs and heavier texas rigs into cover with a medium heavy rod. I realize that I could use my medium power spinning rod to throw the moving baits and finesse fish, and use the medium heavy baitcaster for texas rigs and jigs. It just seems like a medium power baitcaster has more options than a medium heavy, and I really want to learn to use a baitcaster. What do you guys think? Thanks!
