Hey jignpig, sometimes it's not just a matter of the rod that affects the hookset. You might have the right rod but not the right line for that rod. Sometimes people use a line with high amounts of stretch and they pair that with a "slow" action rod. This is not good unless you're fishing crankbaits and other baits where it's real beneficial to let the rod really load up before setting the hook. I use low stretch lines, like braid and flouro, with "slower" rods because of course the line has little to no stretch. When I use lines with more stretch I'll use "faster" action rods. Braid of course doesn't have any stretch...or at least none to speak of. Flouro also has minimal stretch. Mono, especially the lighter pound tests, has a lot more stretch than the other two mentioned. The rod should fit the line accordingly with the lure presentation you choose.

But then again, I personally don't like spinning rods.

I use the Shimano Cumara 7’2” medium heavy spinning rod…
I use the new US REEL SX 230…
I have switched from all fluorocarbon to Daiwa Samurai Braided line 20# test…
It has the diameter of 4lb test… NO twist… Casts like a dream…
I put a 5’ fluorocarbon leader on the braid…
I connect the two lines with a double Uni-Knot
I have tried the same rod in medium…
It didn’t have the backbone I wanted…
Just my two cents…
