A 6'7" med/ Xfast rod, what would you use it for? 

Poppers, 1.5 squarebills, jerkbaits

 What he said minus the squarebills.

 

Though the brand and blank design could add more techniques if we had that info

Topwater and jerks with the right line and drag settings. Weightless plastics like senkos and flukes, light trigs, lighter jigs like 3/16 oz.

I can give you a hint, I'm not allowed to mention this brand on this forum.

Could you elaborate a bit on which line you would choose for treble hook baits? Would you go mono?

With a m/Xfast rod def mono or copoly with topwater or jerkbaits, and a properly set drag. 

 

With the specific rod you’re talking about I’m not sure how well it will handle those lures. It’s def not a squarebill rod.

 

I know how a St Croix M/XF does handle topwater and jerkbaits, it’s tip is super light and responsive.  If you’ve get a stiffer tip then it won’t get the action you need. 

Gotcha. I've played with that rod in a store. For me it's not a squarebill rod, but who knows maybe it would work. I would play around with shakeyheads and open hook tubes. 

weightless soft plastics

Ok, word. This kind of bums me out because there was a st. croix mojo on 50% discount for the same price, with the same specs. I probably should have gone with that one...

DD jerkbaits in early spring is what I use mine for, after that top waters and some swimbaits.
