is this a good rod to handle 1/2 rattle traps, top water spook 1/2 to 1 oz and swinbait 1 oz(floating version).

to i need a x-fast or a fast will be good enough.

thanks

The Fenwick Techna AV AVC70MM or AVS70MM

would be a better choice for treble hook lures.

One ounce lures exceed the rod specifications.

I just checked my AVC 70MF (casting) rod.  It is rated 1/4 to 1 oz.  I haven't used it for anything over 1/2 oz, but suspect you would be pushing (or exceeding) its limits with a 1 oz bait.  Although I personally don't have anything but F or XF rods, you'd probably be better off taking RW's advice about more moderate actions for treble hooks 

I have to admit though, the AVC 70MF has been my most used casting rod.

Agreed.  The rod is perfect for lures up to 1/2 oz.  Anything heaivier would be too much. 

I still think these rods are waaaay under appreciated. 

I just checked my AVC 70MF (casting) rod. It is rated 1/4 to 1 oz.

Wow!

My AVS70MM is rated 1/8 - 5/8.

The discrepancy seems odd to me.

AVC  70 MF 7' 1/4-1oz. 8-20 lb.

under Aramid Veil Design on the right there is a light gold "mg" in a slightly larger font than the ratings

I bought the casting rod about 2 years ago.  It has the alconite guides.
