Trying to pull a medium car away from a log jam with a moderate ML will also pose an issue.

One rod is often limiting. I would recommend a minimum of two rods. A moderate fast ML as suggested for smaller fish or larger fish that you can reel in quick in tight quarters, and a fast MH rod for larger fish where you need to cast larger lures or fish a larger fish in bigger water where they have ample space to run, or get you into snags.

I think an extra heavy rod would have a hard time pulling a CAR away from a log jam, let alone a ML

LOL. It's been fixed. I meant to type CARP.
