Selecting a rod

Can anyone point me in the right direction on what rod I should get? I’m looking for something that can sort of be my all around bass rod. I primarily fish finesse tactics for bass, drop shots, nedrigs, small soft plastics etc.. I’m trying to decide between getting a medium light and a medium and I would like some outside points of view on what to get. I would like to get a medium action rod so if I wanted to I could throw some occasional heavier stuff, but I’m hesitant because I’m not sure if it’ll cast some of the lighter lures I like to throw. Any input would be appreciated, thanks in advance guys.

Powerfishing during Midwest Winters

So I've recently moved to the Midwest, and the highs are in the 30s, occasionally 40s, during the day now. I unfortunately only have a 7' 1" heavy fast action rod meant for bottom contact and a reel with fluro to go with it. What sorts of things would y'all recommend I throw for any kind of chance? I'm thinking a glacial pace C-rig, jig with chunk trailer, and maybe a really slow free rig.

Wait… That’s not a bass! 🥸

This bastard grabbed a 6” senko on a Texas rig underwater, thought I had a nice largemouth.

Sorry for the crap image, the 🍑 🤡 who took the picture used Snapchat with a filter. 😒

Any reccomendations (LARGEMOUTH BASS)

I’m thinking of buying a Diawa fuego 2000-3000 size. I’m throwing it mainly with Texas rigs, light jigs, and even a mini chatterbait. What size rod and reel would give me the best casting without weighing a million pounds
