rod actions

Rod actions refer to the movement patterns of fishing rods during casting or while a fish is hooked. They describe how flexible the rod is along its length when under stress. Common types include fast action (flexes mainly at the tip for sensitivity and accuracy), slow action (flexes throughout most of the rod for gentle casts), and moderate action (a balance of both). Understanding rod action helps anglers choose the right rod for their fishing style, target species, and lure type, ensuring better control, sensitivity, and performance during fishing.
