You mentioned this rod is a medium power but what is the action? I'm assuming that since it is a cranking rod, it features a mod/fast or moderate action with a parabolic bend. How far down the rod blank does the bend/taper shut down under load, and does it have a good backbone? Honestly, this rod will likely be "underpowered" for swim jigs. I always suggest throwing swim jigs on braid, which will help out some with the lack of power on an average 7' medium cranking rod. Not ideal but you may be ok depending on the taper and action.
