Help on next st croix

Hey guys just look for some advice because I see it all over the place. I plan on adding another setup to my stable this week.My current mojo setup is a 6-8 mxf.  I have been happy with the mojo bass lineup. Been doing research back and forth. I was going to pick up another mojo bass 7-1mh fast. Think I changed my mind to a legend tournament bass spinning rod. My huge conflict is m fast or mh fast? I see people saying the mh is to strong. This setup is going to be mainly lipless cranks. I throw a lot of redeye shad. I would also like to throw some other cranks with it. Going to be a more all around cranking setup if there is such thing.

Thank you for the input,

Mike

I think you'd be happier with the MH/F.  The spinning rod ratings are don't run heavier, like the casting rods.  Personally, I'd be throwing them on a casting rig, but I understand not everyone likes them.

If it were me, I’d buy a casting rod. Either way I would get a mh/f. It will be easier to pull the bait through thick cover with that little extra backbone in the rod. 

I have the St . Croix Mojo Bass 7’1” MHF with a Shimano Nasci 2500 reel on it that is my hardbait rod. It’s a lower gear ratio for a slower presentation while also providing enough power and torque to rip crankbaits and jerkbaits. My hardbaits are all in the 3/8-1/2oz range, so they all in line with the recommended lure weight for the rod. I’ve also got an Avid X MF for plastics. While St Croix rods are a tad stronger than the general power ratings, I wouldn’t try to throwing hardbaits on my Avid X, especially if you are using crankbaits that have a really wide, high resistance wobble. I’m happy with the Mojo Bass MHF for the treble hook hardbaits (poppers, props, Whopper Ploppers, crankbaits, and jerkbaits) I’m using. 

MH-F would give you more versatility in my opinion. Good luck.
