For lighter weightless of more finesse application a medium extra fast action will do the job nicely. 6.3:1 baitcaster

General purpose would be a medium-heavy extra-fast action rod. 6.3:1 to 7.0:1 baitcaster

When working heavy structure you might even consider getting a heavy extra-fast action to get the fish away from the structure before you get wrapped up. 7.0:1 baitcaster to get the lure back quickly and into the next strike zone

Thanks
Does length make any difference ?
At this moment I use frogs , spinnerbaits and cranks, there I am ok . The dams I fish I know I can get a few more bites if I fish a worm but have tried and battle to feel the bite .

I use 7' on most of my rods but some guys prefer the sligtly shorter 6'8" or even 6'6" especially when it comes to piching say a texas rig accurately next to or into structure. I have one shorter 6'8" medium cranking rod which works well for light cranks

I think longer rods come into play with cranking for example. One of the KVD Quantum cranking rods actually got up to 7'10". You can really launch a crank a long way with such a log rod. I have yet to try on of these longer one but at moment I am enjoying my 7' glass cranking rod (I use the Powell 703CB)

Ok for my cranking I use a KVD 7' 10" for big baits and a KVD 7' MH for my smaller baits, the 710 can throw a long way!!!
I think for my worm rod I will ge a Greg Hackney TGHC726F
thanks
