I have a few small to medium glide and swim baits. I don't want to purchase a dedicated rod for these baits. I would like to use what I have. My two choices are:

7'3H Fast Action Heavy Power or 7'6" Fast Action MH Power. Which would you suggest? Hooks have been changed to single in line.

What are their weight range?

Your price comfort range?

In my world both of those rods are too heavy for those small lures. I'd go with a medium for that technique.

A 7'3" heavy is going to cast like a broomstick. And the 7'6" MH is not far behind to be honest. But out of those the MH may give you a little bend in the cast and load up some for you. The heavy, not so much.

For those lures I'd be in the 6'6" to 6'10" medium range with a moderate fast rod with some give in the tip.

Those stiff rods could be lip rippers, but the MH is probably your best choice IMO.

I take 'small to medium' to be 5"-7", something like a smaller magdraft or a 6" trick shad. If you're talking single hooks in that 5-0/7 range then you really want a heavier power to drive it home.

You'll probably be able to cast smaller glides (assuming you're talking like S-wavers) on both assuming they have some tip to them. I'd probably want the bend of the 7'6 MH to play the fish, but depending what hooks you swapped them out for you may need that extra power of the Heavy to drive home a beefier inline hook.
