I was given a rod for Christmas by my wife. She ordered the wrong action accidentally and went I tried to exchange it, the store gave me the right rod and let me keep the wrong one as well. So a win for me!  However I've never used a moderate fast action. I generally use a fast to extra fast action. This one is a Lews 7'3" heavy moderate fast. I'm thinking jig or chatterbait. What does everyone use this action for.

I've heard of them being used for pretty much just about anything. Personally a mod-fast is what I like for spinnerbaits, chatterbaits and squarebills, though medium heavy is my choice for those applications instead of a heavy. I think a jig and chatterbait would do well ?

Deep diving 3/4-1 1/2 oz  crank bait rod.

Pair it with braid and you can do a lot with it. Jigs, T rigs, chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, cranks, top water..........     A moderate action rod with good backbone is a very versatile tool when paired with no/low stretch line.
