Also depends what you are throwing with the rod. Treble hook Crank
baits, require a different speed rod than a worm rod.

Not really. I've caught an awful lot of fish on crankbaits fished from an
extra-fast or fast rod. There are advantages to using a moderate action
rod, but it's not really a requirement. Actually, I prefer to use faster,
and more sensitive rods when I'm fishing crankbaits. I can tell if the
lure is working properly, if it's hitting bottom like it's supposed to (if
I'm fishing a deep diver) and I get better hooksets.

Yu can have a slower action sensitive rod also. Speed is not sensitivity.
