i saw a nice fishing pole at gander moutian that was a 7ft pole and was a baitcaster reel. the pole didnt say if it was a fast action it just said medium, heavy next to action. idk what that means but is that a good pole for bass, catfish, pike, bluegill, and trout?

In general you can catch anything with anything but having a good rod to match your fishing will increase your success.
A fast action rod is a stiffer rod than a medium action rod. Fast action means the rod will bend at or near the tip when a medium action rod bends near the middle of the rod. A slow action rod bends near the handle.
If your cranking bass out of wood you may want a fast action rod with heavy line to horse the fish. If your fishing light line and need to protect it from breaking a slower rod will be more forgiving.
