At a MH berkley lighting shock what is it use for? I got Medium rod already so I was wondering what would a MH be used for.

I use a mh to fish jigs, thats not enough for some but it is for me. we dont have the slop the south does

Yeah you can get by fishing a lot of techniques with this rod. Its more of a moderate fast action, but you can throw spinners fish t-rigs and jigs in mild cover...its not like your comparing it to a high dollar rod. When I had mine I needed it to cover techniques outside its range and it did the job. Did you get the 7 foot? I recommend that over the 6'6"

I fish spinnerbaits, jigs and shallow cranks on my MH lightning rod shock.

Came back and pick up the berkley lighting shock rod 7'0 for $44 ... now what's a good line for it?

Some top quality braid or flouro. Power pro or Seaguar.

I used my 7' MH Shock for frogs (both hollow, and horny toads), swim jigs, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, skinny dipper type swimbaits, larger spooks/topwaters, ripping traps and squarebills out of grass, flukes, and senkos. It was one of my last non St Croix rods that I replaced this winter with a 7'1" MH/F Rage....but I am not getting rid of it. It's an excellent all purpose rod. I fished 50lb power pro braid on it.

I believe the guides on that rod are built for braid. That isn't to say you can't fish fluoro or mono on it but you also won't have issues other inexpensive rods have with braid.

Yeah it says that it is built for superlines, but I fished Trilene 100% and it worked just fine. GIven the lack of sensitivity in this rod, I might be inclined to use braid. I am a die hard fluoro guy though.

I had 17lb mono on mine. It really depends what you plan on using it for.
