Thumbs up Describe your rods action - Easy?

Hi All, I'm trying an angle, so, can you honestly answer this. I use a SigV rod from Zenith Fly Rods. I'd describe it's casting action as Powerful yet forgiving.

Try to describe yours, but you can't use the standard ones, such as Slow, Middle, Middle to tip or tip. Nor can you use Full Flex, Mid flex or through.

Don't worry about length or line weight either.

Best Regards

Stuart

One of the ones I use is at best described as very sloppy

Another one I use I would call nice

Hi Clayton. Welcome to the forums. You might get more replies if you start a thread with your question. I would recommend you try any rod before you purchase, and try not to focus on one particular brand. One man's meat is another man's poison. . as they say.
