Hey guys I have two shimano crucial 6'6" rods that are mh fast action baitcaster rods. I am not a huge fan of rods shorter than 7' but I like them. What would you use this rod for? I have many outfits so I don't need a multi-purpose rod setup like some people I try to be more technique specific. Any ideas? Thanks guys!

That is my favorite length, power, and action for spinnerbaits!! You can be super accurate with that length rod and if the sensitivty is ok, which I heard the crucials are preet good in that area, then you have a good senk rod. That length and power is what I call the "all purpose" rod but I use my 6'6" MH as a spinnerbait stick and another as my senko rod, I like it for clear water were I have to be back away from the cover to avoid spooking the fish so I'm too far for pitching yet I still need an accurate cast so the 6'6" is perfect for that kind of duty.

MH F, is super versitile. The 6'6" length wont give you the distance that a 7' gives you. They sound like a good jig,worm,spinnerbait, swim jig, chatterbait, fluke, buzzbait or topwater rod. I dont know what you already have for setups/combos. But if it was me and i had one more rod, it would be a swim jig/chatterbait rod. But it depends on what you have and dont have already

I would use it as a spinnerbait/swig jig rod, I personally toss those on a M/F though

 

MH/F is all around, but the length is what I say spinnerbait.

MH? Crucial? Heck, I'd use it for a lot of different techniques, but since I'm mostly a soft plastics kind of guy, it'd be that. And jigs. And probably most everything else, too.

Spinnerbaits and Texas rigged plastics would be a good choice. Some people also like them for throwing square bills too.

I'd use it for Texas rigged plastics...

Spinnerbaits seems to be a top suggestion. I think the length is what has me not trying it for Texas rigged plastics. I do like the idea of using it for weightless senkos.

Docks skipping, jerkbaits, ripbaits, topwaters.

I would use for spinnerbaits as well, but I suppose it would be good for any close quarters target casting.

Spinnerbaits or jig fishing when accuracy is key. Also if you feel like there isn't a place for them you can rig them as duplicates and keep them in the locker as spares or possibly sell them if you feel like you really don't need them.

I use mine for any small plastics that i dont want to throw on a spinng rod. I use 30lb braid and its for 4-5 inch senkos and light texas rigs with 1/16-3/16 ounce weights.
