I am currently trying to find a spinning rod for my new Shimano nasci 2500. I think something that is MF is something I’m looking for but don’t know which rod to get. Looking to spend no more than $100. Looking to make it a multipurpose rod as I use one for crank baits and the other for spinner baits, chatterbaits and pretty much anything else at the moment with just having two casting setups. 

Anyone have any experience with this rod?

I never understood why guys fish cranks on spinning rods

I will fish1/4 ounce cranks and jerkbaits on spinning gear if need be.

Sorry I wasn’t really clear. I have two casting rods that I use for crankbaits and the other for everything else.

I just got this rod in a couple of days ago.  Haven't got a chance to get it on the water but it is so light, well balanced and well constructed.  

 

I also run a 3-rod setup and I got the medium because I've seen people say the Dobyn's rods are a little softer than their rated power, so I figured I could fish all my finesse techniques with the M instead of the ML and be fine.

i read his post that way as well but i think he meant that he uses the bait casters for the cranks and other baits mentioned.

 

I'd take a look at the Fenwick HMG 7' MF

Take a hard look at the Reign Rods which are essentially St. Croix rod blanks as best I can tell and seem to have similar componentry. I have 6 or 7 St. Croix rods, two Reigns  . . . and I can't really tell much, if any difference.

 

$70 or so as I recall.

That’s a great rod, but I’d step up to a 703.
