How do they rate a rod to be medium action, medium-heavy, light etc.?
I never actually knew how they did it. I have seen medium-action rods WAY thicker than medium-heavy ones. But, they are more limber. Could someone explain to me, how they pick what the rod's action is?
Don't you steal my ending "Hope i helped ya out." Bassplayer! LMAO
medium, heavy, light, etc. is going to refer to the lines used on the rod.
l use for bass mostly medium light rated 8 to about 15lb line but my swimbait rod is an extra heavy rated for 80.
if you're wondering about action, i.e. slow, medium, fast or extra fast, that is going to be where the rod does most of it's bending.
a fast action rod will have most of it's flex in the upper third of the blank while a medium will be more parabolic. a slow action rod will bend through most of it's length. about the only use for a rod like this is when you are after fish with soft mouths that you don't want the hook to tear out of. like maybe a salmon or a crappie.
hope l helped ya out!
l'm hoping even more that l guessed it right. LOL
