I recently acquired a 6'8''MH rod. I have 7'MH rod that I use for jigs and Carolina rigs. I also have a 6'6''MH that I use for spinnerbaits and some moving baits. My question is what would you use the 6'8''MH for?   

Crank baits, Texas rigs, don't list to what pros say, find what works for you.... I had a 5:4:1 reel hated it, I run 6:4-7:1 reels and mostly 7:1, I can always slow down but speeding up will wear you out! Do what feels good brother, if it works use it...

Pitching plastics

I would use it for an in between of those two other rods. If the spinnerbait bite is hot have a different one on that rod, same with the jig or any other bite.

Not sure I follow.

Use it to double up on techniques you use the other rods for.

Perfect finesse jig rod or dock pitching rod.

Docks were the first thing that came to my mind!

Would it be stiff enough to be a pitching rod?

Lipless and Square bill cranks or t-rigs

I wouldn't be too technically concerned over 4", I'd be using the rod that felt most comfortable to me.

Would it be stiff enough to be a pitching rod?

Oh yeah

It would make a fine close quarters dock combat rod

What does stiffness have to with pitching? I love my Loomis 804 JWR fir docks. That extra power and shorter length really helps put the screws to a big fish on a short leash.

I used the wrong word there should of used power instead of stiffness. I was wondering if MH would be enough power. Seeing as most flipping/pitching rods are usually H or XH that I have seen.

I pitch with every single rod I own - including light spinning rods. It is just a cast, not a style, and doesnt require a special rod.

Select your power ( M, MH, H, XH ) based on cover, structure.. You can pitch with any rod, irregardless of length or action..

If you pitch with anything under 3/8oz you would appreciate a soft tip rod. Helps tremendously with accuracy. Ive done my share of pitching with broomsticks, they work when needed.

Did you indicate anywhere if your collection of MH rods are Fast, Extra-Fast, or something else? I might have missed it. That could make a difference regarding how best to distribute their use, depending somewhat on the manufacturer of the rod.

Spinnerbait or chatterbait or squarebill

I didn't. I believe they are all fast but not a 100% sure on that

not to sound like a broken record... but close quarters fishing. spinnerbait and t-rig specially. I use my 6'9" MH almost specically for flukes and senkos
