Depends on the kind of water you are fishing and cover and structure. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a m/h setup. But a 6 1/2 ft.med fast action casting rod works well for wormin', spinner baits and shallow crank baits on many bodies of water and load better for lighter lures for easier casts.

If your on a budget, berkley lighting rod shock should do the job.mh has a soft tip. 61/2'will do the job.

I have a Dobyns Champion D684cb. It's got a nice bend to it, perfect for moving baits, just remember that fishing cover and moderate rods tend to be a bad mixture.

Budget? Dobyns Fury 705CB without a doubt! It can be had right now on a handful of websites like TW on sale right now for the 4th with free shipping. Really can't beat it. 

I'd say for cranks anything from a 1.0 strike king to a Rapala DT14. Up to 1/2oz spinnerbaits. Depending on trailer I'd prob stay around the 3/8oz range in chatterbaits. The 1/2oz plus a hefty trailer puts a little more resistance against the tip then I'd like making it harder to snap it up off the tops of weeds.

Is there a possible rod action and power that I could use for crankbaits, spinner baits and chatterbaits? I know I'm pushing it but I'm also on a budget.
