| Thinking about buying a medium heavy rod, and was wondering what others use a mh rod for? I'm thinking for small bucktails and rattle baits and smaller cranks it would be good. |

| I use a ti mh 9' as my spring downsizing rod to throw what you mentioned. Would not throw anything above 8's with it and 6" cranks. Great for small spinnerbaits as well. |

Location: New Jersey | IF you can swing it, the Legend Top N' Tail is a phenomenal rod for smaller baits. I use it for smaller bucktails and smaller cranks and it loads up nice with smaller stuff and still has plenty of power. It's rated for 3/4-oz to 3-oz lures. |

Location: Land of the Musky | The Tackle Industries (TI) rod sweet spot for lure weights is 1-4oz. It can throw lures in the 0.5oz up to 8oz range very well but the sweet spot is 1-4oz. If you have the opportunity to go to a Tony Grant speech he has the rods in hand and can show you a lot!!
Check out Tuscarora Tackle too. Great rod maker!!! He also has TI blanks.

Location: Minnesota | I started out musky fishing using a St croix 8 foot heavy.that was 17 years ago. So I'm still learning. Now all my rods are Thorn Bros custom rods I tell lonie what I want the rod for and he builds it. If you can afford it have custom rod built . once you fish with a custom rod you won't want to fish with anything else. |
