Re: rod action?
There is no "best" one for bass fishing. Each rod action and length has a different purpose. If you're looking for a good all around rod, go with a 6'6" MH rod. As faar as specifics go heres what I say
finnesse: 6'6" M rod cranking: 7' M flipping and c-rigging: 7'-7'6" H spinnerbaits: 7' MH Worm: 6'6" |

A ML rod might be good for baits with exposed hooks like crankbaits, but if you are going to be fishing soft plastics a ML rod just doesn't have the backbone to get a good hookset.

Re: rod action?
hate to disagree with you reb but i use a ml action rod for my finesse work. there is only one bait i don't use on this set up that is a fluke cause you can't get a decent hook set. well actually i don't think you can get a decent hook set with a fluke on a 8 ' pool cue with braid. to be perfectly honest.
i have never had a problem hooking even finicky bass using most any other kind of plastic baits. i use gamakatsu hooks. i have had to resort to some odd techiques. like using a 1/2 of a 4" finesse worm. but that was more the basses fault than mine. zooker

Re: rod action?
zooker,
do you use the ML with a baitcaster or a spinning reel? |

Re: rod action?
spinning preferably, they can cast light lures better.
