What rod strength you guys use for Buzzbaits? Medium Heavy? I have a medium heavy I could use for Buzzbaits and Spinnerbaits. No sense in buy a rod for either technique, I dont do enough of each to warrant the purchase.

I use a medium heavy with medium action- but i am with you, very rarely throw those things.
On a related note - I do have a few FINE buzzbaits and spinner baits from PC Baits - they are freaking works of art and run better then any of the store bought crap out there

I use a M 6.6 for spinnerbaits, and a MH 6.6 for buzzbaits

Couple lines of thoughts on those two techniques.
Many prefer a fast action rod for the two.
Many subscribe to the theory of a more moderate action rod for any moving bait presentation.
I tend to subscribe to the later.
St. Croix's MHM is a good rod for both techniques. As is the Loomis CB845. Step down one power (MM or 843) if you typically throw smaller stuff and/or don't fish in a lot of cover. Step up a power (HM or 847) for big stuff and really heavy cover.
Loomis CB blanks are a bit faster than the St. Croix M's.
If you prefer fast action rods, then something like the C70MF or MB843 are good choices.
