I am fishing a tournament this weekend, and will be using 3/8 to 1/2 oz spinnerbaits. Since I will not be using my boat, and need to limit the number of rods I take. My choices are as follows:

Techna AV 6'6" MF (this the rod I normally use).

Techna AV 6'6" MHF

Avid 6'6" MF

HMG 7'0" MH (rod is not rated, but my guess is moderate/fast)

Distance casting is not as important as accuracy.

Thanks

I don't see any need to deviate from your normal choice. My spinnerbait rod is a custom Med/Fast 6' short handled and does some topwater duty as well.

All of those will work. Use the one that you aren't using for anything else at the time.

Yes, I think the Techa AV MF has served me well over the years for this application.

I like a MH rod for 1/2oz spinnerbaits.

You have two choices; the MH AV and the Avid.

An Avid M is equivalent to most other rod company's MH.

I'd choose whichever of the two has the shorter handle.
