I'd recommend Medium rather than Med Heavy just for the ability to throw a lighter/wider range of lures better. In my experience Medium with a fast Action (tip) is plenty for Bass/Walleye here in our little state and still let's you down size effectively when needed. Right line and drag setting and you can handle the big ones easy yet still not feel like you are using a pool cue. Manufacturer does make a difference so just a general guideline for sure.
