action and power for all around crankbait fishing...everything but 15-20 food deep divers. so a rod for chucking squarebills, 5-10 foot crankbaits and smaller baits like a shad rap. thanks

7' MM

My most versatile crankbait rod is a MH/M  7ft graphite rod, let the weight of the baits you are going to throw and the size of the line you intend to use help you decide between Medium and Medium Heavy powered rod, a lot of variance from mfg to mfg.    

Powell Diesel 7 Ft MH Mod-fast. Love this rod for squarebills

Phenix composite crank x10 is a sweet rod. Very versatile.

Love my 2014 Crucial 7' M-M cranking rod

I am liking the hybrid Cherrywood HD over a lot of my more expensive stuff.

In fact, I sorta' feel like I shouldn't like a $20 rod as much as I like this one. It's strange and I keep waiting for the catch, but it never comes.

The Cherrywood HD is a bit more whippy like a glass rod, but still as sensitive as some full-graphite rods out there.

It handles cranks well.

Veritas 7'0" Med. Winch. Landed bass over 6 and a few surprise pike and musky up to 15-18. Paired with my BB1 Pro and 10 lb. Hybrid, its like launching a missile when you cast.

7 ft Kistler Klx medium heavy crank, rip, twitch. Moderate fast

I like a MHM in a St Croix avid or legend extreme. That same rod will handle jerk baits, topwaters & frogs up to an ounce in weight.

I would say you are looking for a 7' MH-M just because of the square bills but it will handle medium depth ok but not a shad rap, well not a 5 or 6, and even a 7 will not be the best casting on the medium heavy.

7' MH Moderate-Fast Shimano Crucial.
