Didn't we just do this? Anyways, here we go:
Cranks: 6'6" M
Spinnerbaits: 7' MH
Texas: 6'6" MH
Carolina: 7' H
Weightless: 6'6: MH as long as you got a good reel (BPS Extremes cast light lures rreal well.)
Pitch/flip: 7'- 7'6" H

Same as Hula except for spinnerbaits-for that I prefer a 6-6 MH.

Shallow cranks - 6 M
Deeper cranks - 6'6" MH
Texas - 6'6" MH
Carolina - 6'6" MH
Weightless - 6'6" MH (or spinning...depending)
Pitch/Flip - 6'6" MH
Spinnerbaits - 6'6" M

Can you tell I like 6'6" MH??????????

It's all in personal preference. I can't bring myself to use a 7' rod. Being 6'4", another 7' above that would be like reaching to the fishing gods hoping to find the fish. (and besides, 7' don't fit so well in the rod locker - that's a whole lot of rod to pull out of the tube - it screams to me......"BREAK ME&quot

Good point on the rod locker, Bob-I put mine on the side closest to the center of the boat and don't have too much trouble, but I am careful after breaking a 6-6 by having the lid to the rod box fall on it.

What he said , with the slight exception, that I like Medium for all cranks. I have a 7' PNJ rod, but that's it, doubt I'll buy another one. Plus I really don't care to pitch and flip, just not much to it that appeals to me. So I rarely do it, and definately prefer a spinning reel for any weightless plastics.

Same here, with three exceptions:
I like 7' MH Composite for Cranks
6' M and 6'4" MH for Spinnerbaits
And 6'10" H for Pitching
