Next, because there was a reel involved, I gave the handle a spin and listen for any odd noises

7 Medium Fast: best uses Weightless and light Texas rigs (think smaller plastics where you still want crisp contact) Finesse jigs (compact jigs, lighter heads) Spinnerbaits and smaller chatter-style baits (yes, fast can workjust watch your hookset aggression) Topwater with single hooks (buzzbait, toad-style baits) Light swimbaits (within rating, especially paddletails) The medium versions lure range (down to 3/16 oz) makes it friendlier for lighter presentations while still giving you fast recovery for accurate casting
