Moving baits and treble-hook lures often benefit from a casting rod with some added give under load. The Old 18 Knighthawk 7'0" Medium Casting Rod Mod-Fast combines medium power, a mod-fast action, and a 1/4- to 5/8-ounce lure rating in a versatile 7-foot setup for mid-weight casting presentations.

Within its 1/4- to 5/8-ounce lure range, the KH-70MC-MF is well suited to moving presentations where some additional give through the blank is useful, including appropriately weighted crankbaits, lipless crankbaits, and treble-hook walking baits. The 7-foot length provides useful casting reach, while the medium power and mod-fast action help the rod maintain steadier pressure as a hooked fish loads the blank.
Add the KH-70MC-MF when you want medium-power casting capability with a mod-fast action that brings additional give to appropriately weighted moving-bait and treble-hook presentations.
No. The KH-70MC-MF is a medium-power, mod-fast casting rod rather than a dedicated crankbait-only model. Its configuration is particularly well suited to appropriately weighted moving baits and treble-hook presentations, but lure selection should remain within the rod's 1/4- to 5/8-ounce rating.
A mod-fast action allows more of the blank to bend than a typical fast action, providing additional give under load. With treble-hook presentations, that can help the rod maintain steadier pressure on a hooked fish.
A fast-action rod concentrates more of its initial flex toward the tip, while a mod-fast configuration transitions farther into the blank as it loads. That additional give is one reason mod-fast casting rods are commonly useful for moving baits and treble-hook presentations.
Choose the mod-fast configuration when you want a medium-power casting rod with more give under load, particularly for moving or treble-hook presentations. A fast-action model may be preferable when the application calls for a more tip-oriented response.
Appropriately weighted crankbaits, lipless crankbaits, and treble-hook walking baits are logical applications for this configuration. Keep the complete lure within Old 18's published 1/4- to 5/8-ounce rating.
