Action and Power<br />
Action and power, when used in connection with fishing<br />
rods, are often misused.<br />
Action is, simply put, the way a rod or blank bends. This is described by four different terms:<br />
Extra Fast: Flex in the upper 1/4 of the rod blank.<br />
Fast: Flex in the upper 1/3 of the rod blank.<br />
Moderate: Flex in the upper 1/2 of the rod blank.<br />
Slow: Flex is from the lower 1/3 of the rod blank to the tip.<br />
Power is best described as the amount of energy or force is needed to make a rod blank bend.<br />
<strong>All</strong> <strong>Star</strong> uses the following power rating to rate its rods.<br />
