Moderate fast for me.   I have two rods that I would rate as true moderate, Dobyns 704CB Glass and a Cousins 735 E Glass.  I consider my Lamiglas SR 705R as a MF even though it’s an E Glass blank.   If anyone has concerns about loosing fish, try a composite.  They have a little slower reaction than an all graphite.

   Wow! All of them?

   Did you get one of them? Did you find it really good for keeping small trebles pinned? And did you have a Moderate action with which to compare it?

   Seriously ..........this is starting to get really interesting.

I wasn't researching glass rods, per se.  Just that I thought the glass ones I came across were Fast.  This was a while ago and I will be the first to admit my memory isn't what it used to be.  I see Phenix's new red and blue glass crankbait rods are Moderate.  The 704CB Glass is the only glass rod I have.  A fellow member gave me a great deal on it otherwise I wouldn't have it.

 

I picked up a used X10 (composite) which is rated Moderate Fast.  Haven't had a reel on it yet.  I've been out once with a Gabe’s Rip Rap Special (MHF) and a B-Hittay (MH Mod-Fast).  Both composite rods.  No fish were caught (what a surprise.....sarcasm).

    Ah ...... I see. Thought I was really on to something there, for a minute.  ???   jj

My cranking line up 

Spinning

Micro/Crappie- Denali Myriad 540 ULM 

Light CB - Berkley Shock 6' MLMF 

Squares- Shimano Sojourn 6'6" MF

Casting 

Warts- Denali Kovert 813SB MHMF 

Mag Warts-Denali Lithium 884FG HMF 

 

   Just really got into cranking. Now I'm hopelessly addicted to it. LoL. Moderate rods feel way to soft to me. I fish Bull Shoals Lake around Jimmy Creek. It's nothing but timber and rocks. Mod fast lets me pull out of timber and rocks I catch far better. 

   It's all preference.
