I have 3 medium powered rods that are 7’ tall. One I have designated as my worm rod. Any advice on what I should designate my other two rods to be? I was thinking of making one a fluke rod, and the other one a chatter bait rod. What do y’all think about that?

I still have five medium heavy rods and one heavy rod that I use for other rigs. Again, any comments are appreciated. Have a blessed evening.

@Justbass11 I would say it depends on the taper and what rods they are.

Squarebills and smaller topwaters

7" or 7'1 M F are super versatile

squarebill/other shallow cranks and 3/8-1/2 lipless

JB and poppers/pencils

lighter football jigs

1/8-3/16 mojo rigs/free rigs

mini evo/finesse spinnerbaits

Oh yeah! You need a rig for the 4.25" Nikko Hellgrammite which also works nicely for a 1/2 - 3/4 oz spoon vertically jigged and finesse jigs. Thank me later.😁

@GreenPig Beautiful fish man. Wiper, then striper on the bottom two? We(MI) almost stocked striped bass before settling on salmon in the great lakes!

Kind of depends on your location and what you like to throw.

Fluke is a good start. Finesse jig. Squarebill. Smaller walking baits. Smaller paddletails. Lots of options, or just designate one or both as a Junk rod that does whatever.

bladed jig is a MH+ technique for me but if it works it works.

I use a medium rod for weightless plastics, hard topwaters, and moving baits with treble hooks. I also like a medium when the bite is light.

There is a lot of crossover between an M and an MH rod. I have a loose Hank Parker that is rated M, and it’s stiffer than my Daiwa Laguna MH.

A lot of it depends on not only the rating but the balance, as to how I would use it. A rod that’s tip heavy in the hand is good for crankbaits.

What I do is I use each rod with a variety of different things to figure out what I like it for. A bunch of different techniques, situations, then I really understand what the strengths are of each type of rod.
