When your casting lineup needs more reach without stepping into heavy power, the Old 18 Knighthawk 7'3" Medium Heavy Casting Rod Fast fills a versatile role. Its 7'3" medium-heavy, fast-action configuration and 3/8- to 1-ounce lure rating are well suited to appropriately weighted jigs, Texas rigs, spinnerbaits, swim jigs, bladed jigs, and other single-hook or moving-bait presentations.

Within its 3/8- to 1-ounce lure range, the KH-73MHC-F can move from a jig or Texas rig around docks, grass, and wood to spinnerbaits, swim jigs, and bladed jigs used to cover water. The 7'3" length provides additional reach for longer casts and line control, while the medium-heavy power and fast action suit responsive single-hook presentations.
Add the KH-73MHC-F when you want more length and lure-weight range from a medium-heavy setup without moving to a heavy-power rod.
Jigs, Texas rigs, spinnerbaits, swim jigs, and bladed jigs are logical applications for this 7'3" medium-heavy, fast-action configuration. Keep the complete presentation within Old 18's published 3/8- to 1-ounce lure rating.
Both are medium-heavy, fast-action casting rods rated for 10-20 lb line, but the 7'3" model is rated for 3/8-1 oz lures while the 7' model is rated for 1/4-3/4 oz. The 7'3" rod therefore adds length and extends farther into heavier lure weights.
The additional length can provide useful casting reach and help move line when working bottom-contact presentations at distance or around cover. Its fast action keeps the configuration responsive while medium-heavy power supports appropriately weighted single-hook rigs.
Yes. Spinnerbaits, swim jigs, bladed jigs, and similar single-hook moving presentations are reasonable applications when their complete weight stays within the rod's 3/8- to 1-ounce rating.
Consider a Heavy model when your lure weights, cover, or presentation requirements extend beyond what this medium-heavy rod is rated to handle. The KH-73MHC-F is designed around 3/8- to 1-ounce lures and 10-20 lb line.
