We all had to start somewhere when we bought our first rod and most of us started with a 6’6″ – 7′ medium heavy rod. That is what is most commonly sold in stores like Walmart or other common sporting good stores. It’s a good thing we started there though because this category of rods is EXTREMELY versatile. Learn what baits you should be throwing on this setup! All the gear is linked below! Thanks again!
If you plan on doing any shopping, using my links before going to another tackle store or FishUSA directly is the single greatest way you can support me! You won’t notice a difference in price but FishUSA will see you went through my channel which will help me immensely. Thank you in advance!

1:30 So I just hear you talking about starting out rod and medium heavy rod casting for first time purchasers. What rod in specific are you talking about. Length ? what reel/ gear ratio do you recommend for these medium heavy rods for all the baits you suggested ???
New subber here, much love
I’m afraid to subscribe
I use a 7'6" medium light extra fast action with a quarter ounce frog from a kayak with GREAT success.
God bless you too! Thanks for the great advice!
I have a 7'4 medium heavy
Love this man! I actually wouldn’t consider myself a beginner per say but I am a beginner to more different power/action rods I just for my first ever Medium powe Fast action rod and my main goal is to use it for treble hook hairs I really love how light it is and how much more bend there is would you say it will do well for me?
thank you for the great advice! but i was wondering if these baits and techniques apply to a Med Heavy fast action spinning rod as well ? just started fishing in June and want to be sure i’m going prepared and not throwing whatever looks good
One thing I really scratch my head over is seeing bass anglers with multiple rods. I use only 1 fishing rod and reel for all my inshore saltwater fishing. Also, there is a plethora of different fish species I can catch with my 1 medium fast action rod for saltwater when bass anglers have multiple rods for the same species of fish. I just don't get why a bass Angler needs 5 to 9 rods. Why not use 1 rod?
Great video! I subbed! Can you do one on a Medium power casting rod as well?! Thks either way.
Thanks this helped me. I subbed too
