extra fast tip?

skeeter944 · 01-15-07, 08:09 PM

hey yall,i have a question,is there a big differance between a fast action tip and an extra fast tip? just wondering.

Vabass22 · 01-15-07, 08:56 PM

Yeah, the extra.
Just kidding. I really think it depends on the brand, and action of rod. I played around with the tips at my local bait shop, and thats what it depends on IMO.

The difference between the actions are the percentage of the rod tip that flexes.It goes something like this.

extra fast-20% of the rod tip flexes
Fast- 30 % of the rod tip flexes
Medium fast-35% of the rod tip flexes
Medium -mid part of the rod to tip flexes
Slow- the whole damned thing flexes.

I sure as hell hope this helps.

Just give me a broom handle for worming, jigs, c-rigging, and a slinky for cranking LOL.

Maybe for all the 10 lb.ers that you catch lizards!

I have never used an extra fast, but it really seems to vary by rod manufacturer as far a rod action.

well,i was thinking of getting a shimanocrucial for worming,and i was looking at a 6'6''mh with the extra fast tip. just was wondering if the differance between that and a fast tip would be big. thanks for the replies!

That is what I use for worming, in a Falcon Lowrider spinning.
